“My hip hurt for five months, until I got Rolfed.” “Then the pain went away and hasn’t come back for three years.”
SHUT UP AND PLAY This is in response to Jeff Vallone and Dawna Hammers [“Letters,” April 6 & 13]. Band members and musicians writing in to contest a bad review is a lot like someone calling themselves a genius because they say so. It takes a terribly crass and insolent person to call him- or herself a “visionary.” Give me a break. Bad reviews are part of this business, and if a review in a small local paper bothers someone enough to respond, then perhaps they lack the tenacity necessary in this art. I don’t care if you don’t appreciate the tone of a review or if it doesn’t justify your music. Let the music do the talking and invalidate the bad reviews. Prove to me the worth of your art when I buy your album or see you live. Any other attempts at justification undermine your artistic credibility — the very thing you were defending in the first place. Good music, like genius, need not be defined, defended or explained. It just is. Richard Adkins RUTLAND

effective paper and column. Beth Kanell ST. JOHNSBURY
Kanell is active with the Vermont Antiquarian Booksellers Association. HEIR POLLUTION Thanks for the terrific interview with James Kunstler [“Global Warning,” April 13]. The fact that we are running into a problem with energy supplies is becoming obvious even to the masses. Some of us have been following this issue for years. The problem was first identified by Thomas Malthus over 200 years ago. Humans have overshot the planet’s carrying capacity, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. Peak oil is really just a manifestation of our overpopulation problem. Humans, like all other animals, are genetically programmed to reproduce themselves. The discovery of fossil fuels simply allowed our basic instincts to take over. The results are obvious: a six-fold increase in population since the beginning of the brief age of oil. In the absence of truly draconian population-control policies that would quickly reduce our numbers, the only thing we can do now is let nature take its course. As oil and gas become scarce, populations will decline rapidly. Best estimates for a sustainable population without oil
FEEDING FRENZY I found James Kunstler’s predictions about a world without oil refreshing in the arousing way that Howard Dean reached supporters [“Global Warning,” April 13]. If there had been an oar to row or stone to turn within the vicinity, I would have put down the paper and picked up the load. I wish, however, that Seven Days had thought out the prospects presented by a postdiesel agricultural world. The agricultural system that provides enough food to sustain 6 billion people is highly dependent on fossil fuels. The production of fertilizer is dependent on petroleum. Tractors are dependent on petroleum. Shipping is dependent on petroleum. It’s naïve to think that a return to the earth would come without struggle and widespread starvation. Seven Days asked, “And all cash-strapped farmers and land owners should just try to hang on

run between a few hundred million up to 2 billion. Given the amount of environmental destruction we are going to unleash in the next few decades as we run out of oil, I would put the final number on the low side. Eventually, we will once again have a sustainable human population. It’s too bad that our large brains are not able to overcome our basic genetic tendencies. Tom Fugate

a little longer . . .” Well, “cash-strapped” farmers have always been the losers in our country — at least economically speaking. During the “Long Emergency,” as Kunstler calls the era of high gas prices and low gas availability, won’t these farmers be pushed off their land? Or subject to slavery by the rich? Or, if money has no value, won’t there be wars for farmland not unlike those described in the Bible? Again, Kunstler touches on this, suggesting that “neo-feudalism” and “confiscation” is a possibility.
Overall, however, I enjoyed reading the interview. It really puts the import of fixing Social Security in perspective. Dean Powers MONTPELIER
COMEDY NETWORK I know this is making much ado about nothing, but Paul Cook is just wrong when he states that the idea of Kenneth Cleaver’s “Consumer Correspondent” column originated with his friend, Paul Rosa [“Letters,” April 20]. I have three wonderful books, the
first published in 1977 and the most recent in 2003, detailing the correspondence of one Lazlo Toth, a.k.a. Don Novello (a.k.a. Father Guido Sarducci). He has annoyed politicians, foreign leaders, corporations and celebrities since at least 1973. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn this particular comic device predates Lazlo Toth, so I won’t make any claims about “originality.” However, Mr. Cook should get over himself and be careful about throwing around words like “hack.” They might come
back to stick on some PaulyCome-Lately. Dave Sherman WESTFORD
in-the-schools stance should be read as part of the overall political agenda of her party. Laurie Essig BURLINGTON
CORRESPONDENT RESPONSE In response to Paul Cook [“Letters,” April 20]: I’ve never claimed to be the progenitor of the idea, but I’m happy to say it pays the rent. When I started writing I sought the blessing of the original letter writer, Lazlo Toth, which I received in his trademark tonguein-cheek style. Since Lazlo, many have followed: Ted Nancy, Paul Rosa, Wilbur Winkle, James and Stuart Wade, Paul Davidson, Sterling Huck and more. I suppose we’re all ripping off Lazlo. And I suppose all film directors are ripping off Eisenstein . . . all rockers are ripping off Chuck Berry, and all gay porn stars are stealing from Jeff Striker. Kenneth Cleaver BURLINGTON
Cleaver writes Seven Days’ “Consumer Correspondent” column. CONSIDER THE SOURCE It might be worth noting that Seven Days neglected to mention that Charity Tensel — who in a letter [“Letters,” April 13] insisted that my questioning the presence of General Dynamics in our schools is a “political” move as opposed to an ethical one — is Burlington city chair of the Republican Party. Her pro-GD-
PR PLOY Charity Tensel [“Letters,” April 13] deliberately misses the point when she says, “When did promoting literacy become a bad thing?” General Dynamics is promoting itself and attempting to ingratiate itself with children at an early age to make them think of the corporation that deals in guns and death as their friend. And why do we need help from corporations to bring books to our children? Why doesn’t our school budget provide for it? Perhaps because corporations, which paid nearly 25 percent of the taxes in the 1950s, now pay puny percentages, if any, of the tax bill. How sweet that Ms. Tensel thinks (charitably) that General Dynamics is mainly interested in children’s literacy. But how naïve to think they are looking beyond their own interests and bottom line. Branding begins early, and training young children that the armament industry is their friend prepares them well for a nation controlled by the military-industrial complex. But worst of all in this situation is that a young girl who asked an intelligent and ethical question was isolated for her >> 26A

“De gustibus non disputandum est” —Elaine and Steve Dates
April 20, 2005
T
iming, as they say, is everything, and last Wednesday’s Vermont political bombshell hit at the worst possible time for Seven Days — just as the latest edition was hitting the street. At 10:05 that morning the Vermont media received the following email press release from U.S. Sen. Jim Jeffords’ office: “Sen. Jim Jeffords will hold a press conference at 1 p.m. today at the Emerald 3 Ballroom at the Sheraton Hotel in South Burlington. Credentialed media only.” What the f___? That’s just not like Jeezum. And we’ve never seen the “credentialed media only” line before. Perhaps an attempt to keep GOP rabble-rouser James Dwinell out? The afternoon before, we’d gotten Jeezum Jim’s spokeswoman Diane Derby to respond to the allegation made by selfpublished online columnist James Dwinell (http://www.dwinellpoliticalreport.com). He led his April 17 edition with the charge that Jim Jeffords had Alzheimer’s. King James offered no source, other than himself. “No,” was the firm answer from Derby, though she acknowledged the senator was under treatment for afflictions common in people his age. She didn’t specify any in particular. Jeezum is 70. In fact, Inside Track first raised questions about the senator’s health back in November. Jeffords had attended the swearing-in of Peter Hall as a federal judge. A number of attorneys present called to say they were surprised to see Jeezum looking so run-down and out of it. We also reported that someone in Jeffords’ office had contacted the secretary of state inquiring about the procedure for filling a vacant U.S. Senate seat. And we’d mentioned that Rep. Bernie Sanders’ press release announcing his U.S. Senate candidacy was already written. It would be released, we were told, within one hour of a Jeffords decision not to run again. The state’s mainstream media didn’t bite. As the New Year kicked in, Jeezum Jim made a string of public appearances around the state handing out federal grants. He looked fine. He repeatedly declared his intention to run for reelection in 2006, even talking former Democratic operative Carolyn Dwyer into signing on as his campaign manager. But obviously, behind the scenes Jeezum Jim wasn’t doing so well. His wife, Elizabeth Jeffords, the Burlington girl he’d married, divorced and remarried, was fighting cancer. And besides neck, back and eyesight problems, Jeezum’s memory was starting to slip. On March 22, Sen. Jeffords appeared on Vermont Public Radio’s “Switchboard,” an interview call-in program. To those who’ve known him a long time, it was vintage plainspoken Jeffords. He did, however, fumble a couple questions as if he didn’t quite hear them right. Two days after Jeffords’ VPR interview, an item appeared in an online column on the Wall Street Journal’s opinon page attacking Jeffords. The reason: Jeezum’s strong, refreshing comments on VPR about George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq. The piece portrayed the Vermont senator as both turncoat
and idiot for suggesting the Iraq invasion all was about oil, and that a follow-up invasion of oil-rich Iran will likely be next. The tag line of the column was: “Between this guy and Howard Dean, Vermont has become a laughingstock, the Mississippi of the 21st century.” Sounds like vintage John McClaughry, eh? In fact, McClaughry was thanked at the bottom of the page as a contributor. Dwinell and fellow traveler McClaughry have done their best to dish the Jeffords “dirt.” A former state senator, McClaughry is a prolific conservative commentator and operator of a one-man think tank called the Ethan Allen Institute (http://www.ethan allen.org). In Johnny Thinktanker’s view, Vermont’s been a laughingstock since at least November 1992, when 75 percent of the stupid state electorate chose Democrat Howard Dean to be governor, ignoring the genius of the brilliant Republican candidate, John McClaughry. Hey, whatever happened to Howard Dean, anyway? On April 3, Dwinell jumped on the bandwagon predicting, “as an opinion not a fact,” that Jeffords would not run again for health reasons. The mainstream press continued to ignore the issue. On April 7, WPTZ-TV News aired a four-minute interview with Jeezum Jim, accompanied by his wife, Liz. It had actually been shot on March 22, the morning of his “Switchboard” appearance. Mrs. Jeffords made it perfectly clear to Ch. 5’s Stewart Ledbetter that she did not want Jim to run again. She was dead-set against it and said as much. But in a demonstration of marital fidelity, Liz said it wasn’t her call. He wants to run, she said, and she loves him all the same. Jeffords wryly dismissed questions about his health by joking about having to look over his shoulder all the time to make sure he hadn’t fallen down. Yes, we all learned after the fact that CNN had inquired about an incident in which Sen. Jeffords had mistakenly walked through the House door where he served 15 years ago. But Jeffords’ folks made light of it. A senator has a lot on his mind, they said, and not paying attention and walking the wrong way on a busy day in the crowded, bustling Capitol isn’t really news, is it? Certainly, at the time, CNN didn’t think it was. Besides, we’re told Rep. Bernie Sanders has been mistakenly walking up to the U.S. Senate door for years and nobody’s said a word! Just kidding. According to those long close to Jeezum Jim, the Vermonter made the decision to retire over the weekend at the Capitol Hill row house he’s owned for 20 years. Senior staff learned about it on Monday. They held the news close and quietly investigated possible avenues to release it. The drumbeat orchestrated by Dwinell and McClaughry and the WSJ, we’re told, was not a factor in any way, shape or form. By Tuesday morning, Jeffords decided it was time to get it out, and the place to get it INSIDE TRACK >> 20A

Last Call for Liquor Control Czar A number of local restaurant and tavern owners hoisted their glasses recently to toast the news that Burlington’s license committee — SIGN POSTED AROUND TOWN SHORTLY AFTER the body within City Council that SEVEN DAYS’ MARCH 2 COVER STORY, “RAIZING oversees liquor licenses and outTHE BARS,” WAS PUBLISHED. door entertainment permits — is under new management. At the council’s reorganization meeting two weeks ago, Councilor Bill Keogh (D–Ward 5) learned he wasn’t being reappointed to chair the committee he’s headed for the last six years. Councilor Kevin Curley (R–Ward 4), who chaired the committee in the mid-1990s, is replacing him. Keogh had indicated recently that he was considering leaving the post anyway — its time demands often conflicted with his other commitments as a state representative. Instead, Keogh will now chair the city’s transportation committee. The South End councilor has long been a controversial figure on the three-member body, and was known for his aggressive stance on nightclub noise, outdoor music and eating establishments that blur the line between restaurant and bar. Keogh’s supporters credit him with cracking down on excessive late-night noise, vandalism, underage drinking and other drunken rowdiness that occurs downtown, especially on weekend nights. But his critics, including many former and current liquor licensees in Burlington, accused Keogh of being unduly punitive in overseeing Burlington’s restaurants and taverns. In recent months concerns had grown that his behavior was earning the Queen City a reputation as an unfriendly place to do business. In February, Keogh angered many members of the city’s hospitality industry when he tried to push through major changes to the liquor-license requirements without seeking public input. The change in leadership was welcome news to many proprietors, including Nancy Cunha, owner of Manhattan Pizza & Pub at the corner of Church and Main. “I can probably speak for everybody on our block that we’re all breathing a sigh of relief. We feel like the reign of terror is over,” says Cunha, whose recent legal clash with Keogh and the license committee has cost her nearly $10,000. “I don’t think [Keogh] realized, in the way he was leveling punishments, how he was impacting livelihoods.” Curley says he’s looking to build a smoother relationship with downtown businesses. “We’re going to do whatever we can to recognize the folks who run good establishments. And we’re going to look long and hard at the folks that aren’t,” Curley says. “My view on selling alcohol in the city of Burlington is that it’s a privilege, not a right.” Curley’s first act as committee chair was to grant an outdoor alcohol-consumption permit to Bill and Melissa Shahady of Wine Works, whose permit application for sidewalk seating had been stuck in limbo for nearly a year. Curley also reinstated Manhattan Pizza’s outdoor seating permit, which was revoked last summer. KEN PICARD

Last week the cover story of Seven Days addressed whether Vermont ought to follow up last year’s medical marijuana legislation with further decriminalization of pot possession. Both notions are still considered radical by legislators in many states — only about a dozen have approved the use of medical marijuana for patients with terminal or chronic illnesses. Meanwhile, on April 19, the Canadian government delivered a body blow to the U.S. government’s opposition to medical marijuana. It approved prescription sale of a natural marijuana extract to treat pain and other symptoms caused by multiple sclerosis. Sativex, produced by GW Pharmaceuticals in Britain, brings the medical marijuana debate full circle. Though the technology has advanced in 70 years, this product is a direct descendent of the marijuana extracts and tinctures that were a standard part of the medical armamentarium until the late 1930s — universally recognized as being safe and effective for certain conditions. These products were taken away from patients and doctors as a result of the prohibition on marijuana that began in 1937, despite the public opposition of the American Medical Association. In short, the Canadian government has just certified that virtually everything our own government has been telling us about marijuana is wrong. In defiance of a large and growing pile of scientific studies, this administration still claims that marijuana has no medical value. White House Drug Czar John Walters has even compared medical marijuana to “medicinal crack.”

<localmatters> Preaching Abstinence in Middlebury Does a sexual-abstinence presentation in a public school by a Christian group breach the separation of church and state, even when the group doesn’t proselytize? Some parents and educators are debating this issue following the recent performance at Middlebury Union Middle School (MUMS) of a skit sponsored by CareNet Pregnancy Center of Rutland. Entitled “Worth Waiting For,” the pro-abstinence production is being staged at nine other middle schools in central and southern Vermont by a group of student volunteers from Rutland-area high schools. “CareNet [national] is a Christian ministry assisting and promoting the evangelistic, pro-life work of pregnancy centers in North America,” the organization’s spokeswoman, Kristin Hansen, wrote in an email response to questions. Some of the 850 pregnancy centers affiliated with CareNet take a pro-active approach by educating young people about abstinence, Hansen added. “It is a CareNet policy that any information that is presented in public schools must be absolutely secular and that presenters must not proselytize,” Hansen wrote. By all accounts, the group did adhere to that policy at an assembly for MUMS eighth-graders on April 6. “This is public health peer education, and we never proselytize in any way,” said Beth Marra, abstinence director for the CareNet Pregnancy Center in Rutland. “We would never be invited back to schools if we did not respect this necessary boundary.” CareNet has been sponsoring these skits in Vermont schools for the past 10 years — the past four at MUMS. “To my knowledge, we have never had a parent complaint in the history of the drama troupe,” Marra says. But at least one parent is complaining now. “This program has no place in our middle school,” Jordan Young wrote in an April 20 letter to the MUMS principal. As chair of the Cornwall school board, Young noted that he has seen “the issue of religious institutions in our schools is highly charged.” MUMS would have been wise to choose one of many qualified secular groups to
deliver an “abstinence-based” message to students, he said. He further objected to the CareNet skit on the grounds that “abstinence-only-based programs are not beneficial to our students, and are, I would argue, harmful.” Noting that the effectiveness of abstinence-only programs remains unproven, Young cited research showing that students making an “abstinence pledge” are 30 percent less likely to use condoms than are their nonpledging peers. The MUMS skit did not entail an abstinence pledge. In addition, said school principal Inga Duktig, the CareNet presentation is only one element in a nine-week health-education course that presents abstinence as one choice among many available to students. Duktig added that nothing about the CareNet skit makes her view it as inappropriate for MUMS. “Parents were not invited to the CareNet presentation, but they were informed of it in advance and could opt not to have their child attend,” Duktig said. One student’s parents did take that option. Some students in attendance regarded the program as one-sided and misleading. Eighth-grader Eli Cohen said he and his friends thought the presenters “were trying to scare us.” The skit suggested that “condoms almost always don’t work and that having sex will give you STDs,” Eli said. “They were giving only one side.” Rutland CareNet official Marra, a former social worker, notes, “I used to be in favor of condom education for kids.” But, she adds, “I couldn’t ignore the facts in front of me. I couldn’t ignore the number of girls becoming teenage mothers, making great sacrifices in their goals and dreams. I came to believe that teaching abstinence is the right approach.” John Young isn’t so sure, and further laments that the CareNet program omitted any mention of civil unions or questions of sexual identity for gay and lesbian students. “A multi-team school event on sexuality that doesn’t even mention their concerns,” he said, “sends a strong message to them that they are invisible and should remain so.” KEVIN J. KELLEY
Make no mistake: Sativex is liquid marijuana. It is nothing like Marinol, the synthetic THC pill sold in the U.S. and sometimes falsely touted as an adequate substitute for marijuana. Sativex is a whole-plant extract, containing the rich variety of naturally occurring compounds called cannabinoids that are unique to marijuana. It also contains trace elements of other compounds contained in the plant, which scientists believe contribute to its therapeutic value. On its website GW Pharmaceuticals explains, “We believe very strongly that many of the advantages of using the whole plant come from the inclusion of other components of cannabis [marijuana],” not just THC. “In the cannabis plant, it appears that some of the components added together give better effect. Some components seem to work to counteract some of the side effects of others, and the whole plant is generally well tolerated by humans.” Studies have shown significant effect against pain and other symptoms caused by multiple sclerosis and other debilitating conditions. Over 600 patient-years of research have established a remarkable record of safety. Sativex is to marijuana as a cup of coffee is to coffee beans. If Sativex is safe and effective, marijuana is safe and effective. ROB KAMPIA Rob Kampia is executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project in Washington, D.C.

Curses, Foiled Again When Vicky Siles of New Haven, Indiana, received a check for $1 from the Globe Life and Accident Co., she changed the amount to $4 million. Instead of taking the check to a bank to deposit, Siles took it to a checkcashing store and asked for cash. Never having seen a check for $4 million and suspicious because the dollar amount was torn where the original number had been altered, the clerk at American Cash Express called the insurance company, which confirmed that the check was bogus.

Wayne Brightly, 38, repeatedly failed his state certification exam, authorities said that he paid a homeless man with a developmental disorder $2 to take the test for him. Stand-in Rubin Leitner, who is 20 years older than Brightly and looks nothing like him, not only passed, but scored so high that state officials became suspicious and summoned Brightly for questioning. Instead of appearing himself, Brightly (black and thin) sent Leitner (white and overweight), who failed to fool anyone. “He said no one would ever know,” Leitner told the Daily News.

pionships. The idea, according to organizer Oeystein Lia, 33, is to take flight from a mound of snow, fly through the air and land in a tree. For the completed jump to qualify, the skier has to hang onto the tree without falling to the ground. The higher up the tree, the softer the landing, because the branches are thinner and bend under the weight of the skiers. “You really have to dare to give it your all in the jump, so you end up near the top of the tree,” Lia said. “If you don’t, you can slam right into the trunk.”
Scare Tactics Hoping to scare away birds at the Beijing airport, officials imported a U.S.-made bird-dispersing machine, which works by amplifying recordings of birds or their natural enemies. The scarecrow machine failed to work, according to the Beijing Evening News, because the recordings were of American birds, and “local birds did not understand the foreign language.” The paper reported that experts “translated” the bird noises into Chinese by recording “six or seven bird screams which are common in Beijing.”
Weighty Matters Sales clerks discriminate against obese shoppers, unless they think the customer is dieting, according to a 5-year study at Rice University. The discrimination was subtle, consisting of less eye contact and more unfriendliness, said Eden King, one of the study leaders. In one phase of the study, obese shoppers carried either an ice-cream drink or a diet cola and told store employees that they were trying to lose weight. King said that the shoppers with the ice-cream drink reported the greatest amount of discrimination. Scott Krugman of the National Retail Federation insisted that the survey doesn’t prove discrimination, only that some salesclerks are rude.

He recruited three other law firms to bring the action and was retained by one of the plaintiff firms for 10 percent of the attorney fees collected. Pretrial depositions revealed that although Alliance Mortgage received the fax fees, Centerre Title handled the transaction.

He’s right, and I’ll tell you what it is: a citizenry that knows nothing about history. I’m moved to say this not just from conviction, but because George W. Bush turned up last week at the opening of the new, high-tech, holographic, pornographic, Disney-style “Lincoln Museum” in Springfield, Illinois. There, Ding-Dong delivered a few remarks. “I am so honored to be here,” he said, “to dedicate a great institution honoring such a great American. Laura and I were just given a tour.” Imagine that! While you’re at it, imagine Universal Studios’ “Island of Adventure” in

Orlando. Throw in a couple of spooky Lincoln faces, a lot of guns going off at Antietam, John Wilkes Booth jumping down from the assassination scene, and there you have it — History Lite. A cheaper show couldn’t exist outside Crawford, Texas. Better people than I last week — provided they could wade through all those stories about the pope and TV docudramas pretending that “American voters never knew” Franklin Roosevelt had had polio (they did, very well) — tried to balance Bush’s brain with Lincoln’s. I refer especially to David Rossie’s piece in The Binghamton Press and Sun-Bulletin, which pled for Americans to wake up and see how they’ve been duped. David had only to quote the respective Commanders-in-chief: Lincoln (1858): “As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy.” Bush (2003): “I had the opportunity to go out to Goree Island [on the west coast of Africa, in what is now Senegal] and talk about what slavery meant to America. It’s very interesting when you think about it. The slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast [sic] and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America.” OK. “Most of you all know,” as Bush continued in Springfield, that “the First Lady was a librarian. Any time she can get me into a library is a pretty good deal, as far as she’s concerned.” That Goofus was in a museum, not a library, when he said this, is a distinction
I’m willing to overlook. That he doesn’t know the difference, when he compares himself to Abraham Lincoln, is a distinction I cannot overlook. Especially when he throws the burden on the First Lady, the kind of librarian who used to recite The Runaway Bunny during “Children’s Week.” If she were a real librarian, she’d see through this farce. “[Lincoln’s] very election as president was regarded as a cause for war,” Dubya stumbled on. “And as he sent legions of men to death and sacrifice, his own burden began to show in a lined and tired face.” Leave it to Ding-Dong to render the whole thing a matter of cosmetics. And leave it to him, also, to know nothing about Lincoln, who declared as he sent “men to death and sacrifice” during the Civil War that his head was “low and bent”; that no pride could accrue to it; and that his only goal was to preserve the Union. Not the “Republicans” or the “Democrats” or the slaves or anyone else, but the Union. Later, in the Second Inaugural Address of 1865, Lincoln hoped that “the better angels of our nature” would win the day. And when he said that, he wasn’t talking about “God.” “Mr. Lincoln had no faith and no hope in the usual acceptation of those words,” said Mary Lincoln after her husband’s death. “He never joined a church; but still, as I believe, he was a religious man by nature. He first seemed to think about the subject when our boy Willie died, and then more than ever about the time he went to Gettysburg; but it was a kind of poetry in his nature, and he was never a technical Christian.” Uh-oh. Last week, Vice President Dick Cheney announced that as president of the Senate he would cast the decisive vote, if necessary, to further the Republican Party’s goal of “ending the filibuster,” the so-called “nuclear option.” This in the interest of appointing “Christian” judges — “people of faith” — to the federal bench. Any student of history knows that this effort is not about “faith.” It’s not about Christianity, either. It’s a blatant attempt to destroy the constitutional separation of powers, and to put that power solely in the hands of the executive, the “president.” Who is, of course, a figurehead. And this one is no Lincoln. In 1862, Mary Lincoln heard that one of her brothers, fighting on the Confederate side, had been killed in battle. Elizabeth Keckley, her best friend and a black woman, broke the news to her and wondered why she was not devastated. “Of course,” Mary said, “it is but natural that I should feel for one so nearly related to me, but not to the extent that you suppose. He made his choice long ago . . . He has been fighting against us; and since he chose to be our deadly enemy, I see no special reason why I should bitterly mourn his death.” I don’t know where to turn from this. I wish I could be more hopeful, but I can’t. m

here are no straight lines in nature, we’re told, but sometimes you can see — at least in retrospect — an unwavering trajectory in a person’s life; a path so direct and clear-cut, no map was necessary. This seems to be the IMAGE case with the evolution of Chelsie Bush, Matthew proprietor of Birdseye Metal & Glass in Thorsen Richmond. Bush, now 27, probably didn’t call his creations “art” when he was building forts with his brothers out of dead tree limbs and stones. Or when his dad taught him how to take apart and re-assemble motors on cars and trucks, or to use the tools in his shop. But it was all in a day’s play for a creative boy raised without television in rural Vermont. You might say Bush was born into art: His father Jeb was a blacksmith, his mother Judy a potter. But into this environment he brought his own desire to “constantly make stuff,” an insatiable curiosity to know how things work and, not least, an eye for beauty. During two-and-a-half years of home schooling, he chose to add “in-depth studies of Gothic architecture and Alexander Calder.” Later, after apprenticing with a local carpenter, Bush was torn between pursuing architecture or art. But the hands-on appeal of working with tools won out. Specifically, it was Alfred University that lured him, “after a tour where I found a vast amount of
equipment and studios to work with,” Bush says. There, hungry for knowledge, he studied glass blowing, neon, foundry practices, woodworking and metal fabrication. “My professors kept nagging me to focus on one medium,” he writes in a statement accompanying his resumé, “but I kept explaining to them that it was important for me to burn as many candles as possible while they were in front of me.” Bush’s senior project was the epitome of “mixed media”: a dining-room set made of woods and steel; two car motors “enhanced” with blown glass and neon light; and glassand-metal sculptures. After graduating in 2000, Bush traveled a bit and worked in glass studios, including the famous Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle. But soon he returned home and set up his shop in Richmond with the guys he’d worked for in high school. Birdseye Metal & Glass, or BMG, is a division of Birdseye Building, which focuses on residential construction. There, Bush makes ornamental metalwork such as handrails, door hardware, lighting and other architectural elements. “Chelsie’s work is energetic and spontaneous — there’s sort of a refined grittiness to it,” says Birdseye co-owner John Seibert. “He’s incredibly talented and versatile; he can hop from welding to forge work to glass projects to framing.” But if Bush is a jack of nearly all trades,

That said, each of them is unique, and all incorporate unusual elements — parts that some people might call junk. “A lot of my pieces come from the trash left behind from cars,� he acknowledges. “Such as differential gears. I first started picking these up from the dumpster at a

“UNPLUG THE DRUG,� A SCULPTURE BY CHELSIE BUSH. Caterpillar plant. I finally realized it was a gear part when I was taking apart my truck.� A stunning example is the chandelier hanging at On the Rise Bakery in Richmond — that is, if someone hasn’t plopped down the $4200 for it already. Bush’s older brother Ben (who also works at Birdseye as a draftsman) owns the bakery with his wife Rachel, and it serves as a mini gallery for Bush’s illuminating creations. Along with an old wagon wheel, the chandelier uses six pistons, which hold long, red snouts of blown glass sized to fit. Several sconce-type lights, also made of vibrantly colored blown glass and metal, hang on an adjacent wall. These go for $300 to $500. Oh, and he also made the wood-glass-and-metal front door, as well as the neon sign in the window. It’s hard to know whether Bush’s resourcefulness was learned or is part of his genetic code. But one look at the yard behind his shop tells you he’s a guy who saves — and finds a use for — pretty much everything. Is he going to turn into one of these stereotypical Vermonters with junked cars in the yard? He already has, but protests, “It’s pretty organized!� True, most of his collection is tucked behind the building — heaps of metal, wood, a row of old theater seats, a set of wheels and an axle. He calls the area “metal beach,� and accurately dubs his enterprise “a recycling organism.� Inside the shop, Bush shows off an assortment of gear he’s reclaimed from history, such as a 19th-century lathe and power hammer for forging, and a milling machine he guesses dates from the 1920s or ’30s. The ones that don’t work yet are ongoing projects. So are the diesel tanks he’s converting for vegetable oil — yes, for cars. And then there’s the neat stack of parts for that ’46 Dodge . . . Bush made news a couple years ago with a quite different vehicle
numbing effects of television. He still doesn’t have one — and that, he suggests pointedly, gives him a lot more time to tinker. “TV is the most abused drug,� he declares. That view is eloquently and wittily conveyed by a contraption he calls “Unplug the Drug.� The multimedia piece is essentially a 21-footlong hypodermic needle on wheels; its syringe filled with a jumble of TV sets that actually work. Well, he keeps them set to “fuzz,� Bush says. As effective as it was displayed at the Burlington Subaru dealership for last year’s South End Art Hop, the piece got even more reaction at the Warren Fourth of July parade. Clad in a white Tyvex suit, Bush dragged a TV shackled to his ankle for good measure. His next assemblage, a sort of chariot thing entitled “Driving the Iron Horse,� will be a commentary on the use of fossil fuels. Bush’s aesthetic has won the admiration of Burlington architect John Anderson, who’s hired him on several design projects. At a current renovation in a Shelburne residence, Bush is fabricating the keystone piece for, ironically, the TV room in the basement, which Anderson describes as “a Blade Runner/nuclear winter/Russian submarine kind of environment.� The floor-to-ceiling installation “looks like a cross between a big old factory plumbing pipe and an old periscope in a Russian submarine.� Inside is a neon sculpture with a low-level red glow. Anderson says in the past he’s hired Bush to do some sleek, refined, ultra-modern projects, “but I can say, ‘Make it look brutal and scary and 100 years old,’ and he can do that. For me he’s the perfect kind of guy to work with,� Anderson adds, “because he can cover so much ground.� “The longer I’m around, the more work there is,� Bush muses. “A lot of it is just my drive to make things.� m

f you’ve been putting off buying that Mother’s Day card, you might find inspiration in the 20th-anniversary issue of Visit’n, an annual compilation of oral history from the Vermont Folklife Center. One of the stories told in this “greatest hits” collection of taped narratives from voluble Vermonters is that of Flora Shippee, a West Dover woman who was widowed in the 1920s with “nine children and one on the way.” Obeying her husband’s dying wish to keep the family together, Shippee weathered the Depression by working as a nurse and a laundress. She concocted home remedies from garden weeds, taught her kids moral lessons in the form of stories and rhyming jingles, and became matriarch to a brood of grandchildren and greatgrandchildren who still gather for annual reunions today. “Very seldom did I remember my mother showing that she was discouraged,” says daughter Cora Bardwell. Shippee’s story is plainspoken and powerful, but it won’t sell as many copies as Chicken Soup for Every Mom’s Soul, the latest entry in the interminable, indomitable Chicken Soup series. This well-timed collection of bite-sized inspirational tales — most of them submitted by readers via the Chicken Soup website — features two Vermonters: Susan Krushenick of Warren and Mary Ann Horenstein of Burlington, who writes articles on local history for the Free Press.
MARY HAYS
As Mother’s Day approaches and mud season retreats, various events beckon literary-minded Vermonters who are feeling the spring itch to get out of the house. Here are a few possibilities: Most people who stop by the village of Stowe on a spring evening come for ice cream or a cold brew after a day’s hike on the Notch. This May, a handful will also come to learn the craft of fiction from a Pushcart Prize nominee. Corinth resident Mary Hays is a rare bird in today’s youth-obsessed publishing world, in which editors seeking the next Prep are eagerly buy-
ing up manuscripts by 17-year-old Harvard freshmen. After years of writing plays and short fiction, Hays launched a promising career as a literary novelist at age 63, when her Learning to Drive was published by Shaye Areheart Books. The novel about a devout Christian Scientist whose faith is shaken by her husband’s sudden death attracted national review attention and admiring blurbs from fellow novelists Chris Bohjalian and Judy Blume. When a fan of Hays’ novel who lived near Stowe suggested she do a reading at the Stowe Free Library, Hays got to talking with librarian Charlotte Maison Kastner. She’s been using her “Face to Face: Meet the Author” series to attract big audiences and big names for a small-town library — among them William Sloane Coffin and National Book Award-winner Nathaniel Philbrick. The library also offers workshops in poetry, short fiction and nonfiction; Hays agreed to step in and teach the free, library-funded fiction workshop, with attendance capped at 12. (At press time, Maison Kastner said some spots were still open.) A veteran writing teacher with experience both on the college and

Besides recently receiving the prestigious short fiction nomination, Hays has a Vermont Arts Council grant to fund her in-progress novel, which she says is “set in a place called Quarry City, modeled after Barre, during the politically repressive McCarthy era.” Meanwhile, she’s looking forward to a lively reading on the 17th from Learning to Drive, which she calls “a book that leads to great discussions . . . Everyone, it seems, has had either a Christian Science aunt or college roommate who sneaked a bit of aspirin on the side. More than that, though, Learning to Drive is about someone who’s been raised in an extremist religion and charts her journey back into the ordinary, unpredictable and ultimately mysterious world of human beings.” Another Vermont writer getting national attention is Don Bredes, the North Danville creator of detective Hector Bellevance. Beth Kanell, coowner of Kingdom Books in St. Johnsbury, reports that New York
Times mystery critic Marilyn Stasio will discuss Bredes’ new Northeast Kingdom-set potboiler, The Fifth Season, in her May 8 column. “Of course, there’s no guarantee that [Stasio] will praise it — fingers crossed!” says Kanell, who describes The Fifth Season as a tale of brutal murder and small-town politicking set — when else? — in mud season. Bredes will be at Kingdom Books for a reading and signing on Monday, May 9. Kids and parents who attend the Everybody Wins! Vermont Third Annual Family Literacy Celebration will get to hear Senator Jim Jeffords read a storybook and meet Jean Marzollo, author of the wildly popular I Spy books. But staffers at Everybody Wins!, a “not-for-profit literary and mentoring program” that brings employees of local businesses into schools to read with children, are already celebrating. The organization’s Vermont chapter recently received a Starbucks Foundation grant of $10,000, which it will use to buy books, train volunteers, and run workshops. Starbucks supporting children’s literacy? While most elementary schoolers aren’t — one hopes — in the habit of ordering double lattes, the juxtaposition makes sense when you scan the average coffeehouse, full of cellphone chatters, Internet surfers and, yes, readers. Maybe today’s
Lemony Snicket fans are tomorrow’s Tazo chai drinkers. Jennifer Guebert, Starbucks marketing director for the Great Northeastern Region, puts it more loftily: “Our mission is: to create hope, discovery and opportunity in communities where Starbucks partners live and work,” and hence to fund “programs that promote youth leadership through the power of literacy and respect for diversity,” she says. Although 14-year-old Everybody Wins! has chapters across the United States, so far only the Vermont and Connecticut chapters have received Starbucks grants. For Christian Keidel, manager of the South Burlington Starbucks, the grant isn’t something abstract. He’s been volunteering as an Everybody Wins! mentor since January, reading weekly with a student at Burlington’s Edmunds Elementary School and helping her write an entry for the program’s annual poetry contest. “Watching her open up over a few weeks’ readings and express herself more is really rewarding,” says Keidel, who hopes eight or nine Burlington-area baristas will participate in Everybody Wins! next fall. “It’s a big shocker whenever I do an interview and explain that an aspect of working at Starbucks is being actively involved in the community,” he adds. “It’s just not what people think when they walk in the door.” m

ALL WORTHWHILE HUMAN KNOWLEDGE
ILLUSTRATION: SLUG SIGNORINO
18A
Dear Cecil, Although I realize you don’t have firsthand knowledge of women’s monthly cycles, I feel confident that you will be able to answer my query, o wise one! Does alcohol affect you differently depending on which week of your cycle you’re in? A girlfriend of mine told me that you will get drunk easier closer to ovulation and also will be more susceptible to a hangover. She also said that researchers think that speech patterns can be affected during different stages of the cycle (i.e., you have a greater chance of stumbling on words, stuttering, etc.). I’ve done a little home research on the alcohol consumption part of this question and I’m starting to think she is correct. Do I have a valid excuse for getting tipsy or stuttering? Lea-Anne Levasseur, Saint Catharines, Ontario No offense, Lea-Anne, but you don’t have to be female to have firsthand knowledge of a woman’s monthly cycle, any more than you need a driver’s license to have firsthand knowledge of a car wreck. I’d say the real question, alcohol aside, is: Does the menstrual cycle cause some women to exhibit behavior that in ages past got them sent to live for a week in a hut? Spoken like a true male chauvinist pig, you may say. Perhaps, but wait till you hear about Sandie Craddock, the barmaid from hell. First, tipsiness. Over the past 30 years a fair amount of research has focused on the relation between the menstrual cycle and alcohol, the chief question being whether booze intake causes higher blood alcohol levels during different stages of the process. One widely cited study (Ben Jones and Marilyn Jones, 1976) claimed that it did — specifically, that during the premenstrual phase (days 21-28), when sex hormone levels fluctuate markedly, women absorbed alcohol into their bloodstreams faster and to a greater degree than earlier in the cycle. In a follow-up investigation, Jones and Jones found that women’s reaction times after drinking slowed more during the premenstrual phase than at other times. Aha, you’re thinking, my home research confirmed! Unfortunately, hardly anyone was subsequently able to reproduce these results, including Jones and Jones, and
the current consensus is that any apparent cyclic changes were the result of methodological flaws. (Interestingly, imbibing women generally do reach higher blood alcohol levels than men, even when the amount of booze is adjusted to reflect body weight; it’s just that the menstrual cycle has no bearing on the matter.) A study of women pilots operating a flight simulator after drinking (Mumenthaler et al., 2001) found that while they did relatively poorly when cross-eyed, their performance didn’t track their menstrual cycles except on a couple of tasks. Speech pathologist Ellen-Marie Silverman published research in the ’70s and ’80s suggesting that women had a harder time talking during the premenstrual phase, but her work was ignored, and as far as I know the issue was never settled. Research on menstruation and hangover is likewise slim. So never mind alcohol, stuttering and so on for now. Can the menstrual cycle make a woman just plain nuts? Up to 85 percent of menstruating women report having one or more symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, but the list of PMS complaints is so nonspecific — fatigue, irritability, forgetfulness, etc. — that probably 85 percent of men would qualify were it not for the monthly timing angle. Things get more interesting when we restrict the discussion to premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a condition affecting the 2 to 10 percent of women who suffer cyclerelated emotional and behavioral upset so severe as to be disabling. PMDD isn’t currently an official mental disorder — the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the formal guide to insanity, lists the condition in an appendix and suggests it needs more research. Some psychiatrists have denounced the idea that menstrual hormones can cause mental illness, saying it’s an excuse to discriminate against women and dismiss their other mental-health concerns. In some instances it may be more than that. Consider Regina v. Craddock, a UK criminal case from 1981. Sandie Craddock, a 29-year-old London woman with dozens of criminal convictions, was charged with murdering a fellow barmaid. At trial an expert testified that all her crimes — as well as her numerous suicide attempts — occurred at roughly 29-day intervals, i.e., in sync with her menstrual cycle. Agreeing she wasn’t in control of her faculties, the court reduced Craddock’s charge to manslaughter and freed her on probation provided she remained on hormone therapy. Sometime later, Craddock’s dosage was reduced; during her next cycle she threatened to kill a cop who had allegedly insulted her three years earlier and was arrested while lying in wait for the officer with a knife. Upshot: probation again. Two lessons: (1) Think seriously about the timing of your next trip to England. (2) Menstruation-related conditions, however preposterous or politically incorrect they sound, may have some basis in fact. CECIL ADAMS

t sounded like fun, but isn’t to be — yet. A special matinee concert by The Paul Green School of Rock had been scheduled to play Higher Ground this weekend, but one hour before press time, the show was canceled, apparently due to slow ticket sales. The Philadelphia-area after school program is said to have inspired Jack Black’s 2003 film The School of Rock. In it, the manic actor plays a substitute teacher who turns nerdy 5th graders into rock ’n’ rollers. The real-life Paul Green School of Rock was founded Philadelphia in 1998. About 180 kids aged 8 to 18 attend the after-school program, which lets them play genuine instrument, in front of genuine audiences. They usual gig around Philly, but have also played such venues as CBGB’s and The Knitting Factory, and showcased at festivals in Texas and Germany. A documentary, Rock School, opening in June, follows a year in the life of the school. The film’s soundtrack features the prodigy punkers rocking out with the likes of Jon Anderson of Yes, Alice Cooper and Heart’s Ann Wilson. A Burlington show may happen in July, after the movie comes out. When it does, local music fans will be able to catch a couple dozen of the program’s top rockers — about a third of them female — in a family-friendly show. What can audiences expect to see? “In my humble opinion,” says school founder Paul Green, “some of the finest young musicians on the East Coast. If we were just a novelty act of kids playing rock songs, we would have petered out a long time ago.” Shifting lineup from one number to the next, they play tunes pulled from their curriculum. “If we’re trying to teach the kids dynamics,” Green explains, “we might do Rod Stewart’s ‘Every Picture Tells a Story.’” Queen and Frank Zappa offer lessons in harmony. The syllabus also features lots of Rolling Stones and Beatles, as well as Devo and Deep Purple. The exact play list at Higher Ground will depend on what Green sees when he scopes out the audience before the show. “In San Francisco we had lots of longhaired men and their girlfriends. In Spokane it was like Sesame Street,” he says. “If we get a bunch of baby boomers we’ll do Stones and Pink Floyd. If it’s a hipster crowd, we’ll do Dead Kennedys and Slayer. If no one shows, we’ll just do what I feel like doing.” It’s not easy to keep track of movie theater holdings in Chittenden County. The latest shake-up: Cinema 9, in South Burlington. The venue, which went dark April 22, is slated to re-open in mid-May as the Palace under the ownership of a Boston-area man named Harold Blank. He may not be well known on the local film scene, but Blank, now 57, has been a
major movie-theater player here for years. Back in the 1970s, Blank bought movies for an organization that represented a couple hundred New England exhibitors, including Merrill Jarvis. Jarvis was then showing pictures at the Flynn and State theaters in downtown Burlington, South Burlington’s Showcase 5 (now Higher Ground) and the Plaza (now Barnes & Noble) as well as three drive-ins. Blank later went to work developing new properties for the Australian Hoyts Group. In that role, he engineered Hoyts’ purchase of the Plaza, Ethan Allen, Showcase 5 and Cinema 9 — all of which were then owned by Jarvis. In the years since, Hoyts has sold off its North American screens and Jarvis has bought back Ethan Allen and the Nick, which he’s revamped as the artsy/indie-oriented Roxy. Last year, when Jarvis built the Majestic in Williston, his partner in the project was Harold Blank. “I knew of the deal in Williston because I’d begun working on that for Hoyts in 1995,” says Blank, while driving to Vermont from Massachusetts — a trip he takes a couple times a week. He says he’s spending about $500,000 to improve Cinema 9, including $120,000 in sound upgrades. As for cinematic selections, “I anticipate that the theater will play generally commercial pictures as it has in the past,” says Blank. Is he looking to expand his local holdings? “I have plans for the future, but none of them are solid or immediate,” he says. “But I do have plans.”

out was back home in Vermont where it all began. Sen. Jeffords, along with family and staff, headed for the airport. A room was booked at the Sheraton. The press release went out. There had been no leaks. Suddenly, a political earthquake struck Vermont. With family at his side, Jeezum Jim Jeffords went out his way. He was open about both his and his wife’s health problems. He simply said he was getting old and it was time to go. Short and sweet. For only the second time in 32 years, Vermonters will vote to fill an open U.S. Senate seat. Let the games begin!
The Big Enchilada — As it turned out, Rep. Sanders did get a press release out within the hour reminding everyone he’s had his sights on a U.S. Senate seat for quite some time. Jeffords’ announcement began at 1 p.m. Offically, Ol’ Bernardo’s press release went out at 1:33 p.m. Not bad. The Democratic Party is solidly behind the iconoclastic Vermont Independent with the Brooklyn accent. Both Howard Dean and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called him to express their support. The skids are greased. The only one who could possibly derail the Senator Sanders train is Republican Gov. Jim Douglas. The only question is, does he have the guts to go head-to-head with Bernie? In the 2002 election, both won handily. But Sanders polled 25,000 more votes statewide in his Congressional race than Douglas got for governor. Certainly the Bush White House and the Republican Party will promise him the sun, moon and stars to run, but Gov. Scissorhands gets flustered when challenged, and Bernie will be challenging him — loud and clear — on a daily basis. Besides, every time we try to raise the issue with Jim Barnett, Douglas’ number one hit-man, he changes the subject. This week, GOP Chair Barnett would much rather smear Sen. Patrick Leahy for opposing Bush’s most extreme right-wing judicial nominees than discuss Douglas’ chances in a head-tohead with Sanders. Mad Dog must know something. And what he knows may have been best expressed this week by someone across the political aisle. Until last month Luke Albee was St. Patrick’s chief-of-staff. He’s now entered the private sector as Washington’s newest political guru. The Douglas-Barnett “good cop-bad cop routine gets a little trickier in a race for the United States Senate,” said Albee. “It will be harder for the governor when Jim Barnett is trumpeting the benefits of privatizing Social Security, ending all checks and balances on judicial nominees and defending the president’s budget priorities. All these issues are in Congressman Sanders’ wheelhouse, and I’m sure he’d be delighted to debate them for the next 18 months in Vermont.”

He’s got a point. And we’d be surprised if the two Jims — Douglas and Barnett — don’t get the point. We wish he would, but right now, we cannot imagine Jim Douglas running for anything but reelection. The Racing Form — The Kentucky Derby only allows 20 horses. Vermont has no limit. Here are some of the leading Vermont ponies with a stake in the 2006 Election Derby. Sen. Peter Welch (D) — Been around a long time but hasn’t won in Grade 1 competition. He’s a former left-winger who’s moved to the center. Welch’s ambition phase may be behind him. Peter’s already said he has no interest in taking on Douglas. That leaves the House race. Right now, not likely. Peter Shumlin (D) — Former state senator is said to be ready to rock ’n’ roll. Fell on his sword for the party in 2002 by not challenging the buzzless Doug Racine in a gubernatorial primary. Then he ends up with Progressive Anthony Pollina getting in the Lite-Gov race and launching Brian Dubie’s political career. Word is, Shummy wants to run for Bernie’s House seat. And it’ll be a heck of a primary. Sen. Matt Dunne (D) — Count him in. It’s a moment he’s been waiting for. The talented Windsor County thirtysomething has had Washington dreams on his mind since childhood. Lack of statewide name recognition will be a problem, but problems are there to be overcome. The only thing that could stop him would be a Peter Welch candidacy. Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie (R) — Recently we heard from D.C. that Doobie-Doo will not be getting the aviation ambassadorship we first reported he was seeking just two weeks after he won a second term last November. The dude’s ambitious. He’s even got some of those quirky old-Vermonter tendencies Jim Jeffords has. Dubie would be perfect for the House race. Especially if no other wacko Republican gets in. While the Democrats beat each other up in a primary, Dubie could play the statesman and build a warchest. It’s really too good to pass up, right Brian? Anthony Pollina (P) — The day after Jeffords’ announcement, Pollina gave a few people shivers as he casually appeared at the Statehouse. If Tony the Prog wants to do some real damage, he certainly can. Dubie would instantly become the projected winner if Pollina made a run for the U.S. House. Can lightning strike twice? Peter Clavelle (D) — In 1989, Clavelle succeeded Sanders as mayor of Burlington. Can he follow him to Washington in 2006? Clavelle’s dismal 38 percent showing in the 2004 governor’s race indicates he has lots of room for improvement. However, he also has a statewide base of left-wingers to build on. Interesting.

Sen. Diane Snelling (R) — If Dubie goes for Congress, who better to carry the GOP flag than the daughter of a former governor (dad) and former lieutenant governor (mom)? Her biggest problem would be getting through a GOP primary. That’s where the conservative true believers turn out, and Princess Di ain’t no conservative. She thinks everyone, including gays and Abenakis, have rights. Ritchie Tarrant — The retired IDX gazillionaire may be old and rich, but he’s never run for political office, and, for a man who has everything, a U.S. Senate campaign is a nice bauble. Just reading his personal financial disclosure form would be a hoot. A Sanders vs. Tarrant race would be pure playground basketball. No referees. Please, Ritchie, don’t back out now! Bill Sorrell (D) — Our attorney general says he loves his current job, but has been getting calls. His lack of tenacious campaign experience is a concern. When we caught him Monday he was wondering out loud about the chance a “viable� Democrat would have in the U.S. Senate race. Wonder what Billy’s been smoking lately? Gen. Martha Rainville — Our distinguished National Guard commander is a horse of an unknown color, but a much-admired horse, nonetheless. She’s a potentially strong candidate for Gov or the U.S. House. Bright and articulate, Rainville has a certain presence that just says “leader.� She’d be a very hot ticket in a Democratic House primary. Imagine a Rainville-Dubie congressional race? But at the moment, no one knows if Generalissimo Martha is Democrat, Republican or Independent. We’re all holding our breath. Prison Country Club — Former Fletcher Allen Health Care boss Bill Boettcher begins serving a two-year prison sentence in June, but don’t expect a real prison with jail cells and barbed wire. Everything was worked out for Big Bill to serve his time at the rather posh, white-collar Federal Prison Camp in Nellis, Arizona, north of Las Vegas. Its latest celebrity resident was Martha Stewart’s crooked stockbroker. No jail bars at Nellis. According to the Bureau of Prisons, it’s even air-conditioned, and inmates sleep four to a room, dorm-style. The gym has cardio equipment and stairclimbers. There’s a pool, as well as ping-pong tables and art classes. The food’s pretty good, too. But bad news arrived Tuesday. It seems the Bush administration wants to close down Nellis FPC and three other minimum-security camps in a consolidation move. Congress will have the final say. Imagine Mr. Boettcher having to serve his time without air-conditioning and a Stairmaster? Shocking! m

our high school-age girls sauntered into A Little Glamour, a cozy boutique on Burlington’s Church Street Marketplace, last Sunday afternoon. They looked a little dazed from the weather’s sudden brightening, and nearly as glum as the rain STORY clouds that had just dispersed. The girls SARAH were in search of a prom dress — a quest TUFF that can turn the spunkiest of sophomores into a scowling Scrooge, thanks to the IMAGE MATTHEW cookie-cutter styles and hefty price tags. But then something amazing hapTHORSEN pened: In less than 10 minutes, one of the girls, named Melissa, found a cornflowerblue dress that fit her perfectly. Her friends admired the ankle-length, empirewaist cut; Melissa’s eyes sparkled with that eureka expression. What’s also amazing is that she left the store with that dress and hadn’t spent a dime. The gown, along with dozens of others on temporary display at A Little Glamour, was completely free, thanks to a growing movement that’s turning past prom queens, and bridesmaids, into fairy godmothers. The so-called “Cinderella Project” seems to have popped up across the U.S. and Canada in simultaneous spurts — the
F
websites for two separate nonprofit organizations in Los Angeles and Vancouver, B.C., claim to have founded the project in 1999. But unaffiliated programs have since spread throughout the two countries with essentially the same mission: to collect new or gently used dresses for girls who cannot — or don’t want to — spend a fortune to attend their proms. The L.A. project specifically alludes to building selfesteem in inner-city girls, but in Vermont and elsewhere, supporters want to ensure that local teen belles get to go to the ball. In the same way that official Cinderella Projects have been launched, the inspiration to gather and give away gowns hit Lisa Spagnoli when she overheard a couple of conversations in her store, A Little Glamour. “Girls were talking about how expensive prom dresses are,” she says. “And I had nine bridesmaid’s dresses hanging in my closet at home; I thought someone could benefit from that.” Spagnoli placed ads and posted flyers, and by mid-April, women aged twentysomething to fiftysomething had donated heaps of satin, silk, charmeuse and chiffon.

I think all little girls grow up wanting to have that sort of Cinderella night. BEVERLY HILL, LYRIC THEATRE gled alongside Nicole Miller creations, midnight blue and maroon numbers, and a “Lady in Red� sparkler. There was even a wedding dress — a size 12 Jessica McClintock, with the tags still attached. “Her mother hated it,� says Spagnoli. “So many of them wanted to tell me a story about the dress . . . and I’m just happy to see them go to a big party again.� Though Spagnoli’s free spree has ended, she’s passed along the dresses to Beverly Hill, who’s overseeing Lyric Theatre’s own Cinderella collaboration with several Chittenden County high schools. Sometime before Prom Night 2004, Annie Lajoie and Danielle Hanson, then juniors at Mount Mansfield Union, heard about the Cinderella Projects in New York City and started collecting dresses from their fellow students. Only a few trickled in, but word of the fairy-tale idea reached members of Lyric, who planned to stage the musical Cinderella this spring. They decided to help the girls reach more donors for 2005. “Not everybody’s going to have a big, fancy wedding or a big, fancy prom,� says Hill, who’s also helped Lyric partner with Good News Garage for Grease, collect coats for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and work with the King Street Youth Center for The King and I. “But I think all little girls grow up wanting to have that sort of Cinderella night,� she adds. Eleven students from eight high schools are now involved with the project and have supervised various drop-off days. “A lot of people are really interested,� says Jen Leach of Champlain Valley Union. “Seniors and juniors are ready to
part with their freshmen dresses; it takes a couple of years to realize, ‘I’m really not going to wear that again.’� In some cases, it may take a couple of decades. “A lot of older people have dropped off, actually,� says Danielle Hartley of Milton, who can spot a bridesmaid’s dress from a mile away — thanks, no doubt, to the matching pumps. How will such styles fly among teens? “They’re talking about how vintage is in,� says Leach. “So a lot of these could work — as long as they’re not poufy.� While some of the dresses appeared to have arrived straight from Princess Di’s closet, circa 1983, others smacked more of a Las Vegas revue. Or Tina Turner. “There was one, it was green, it was definitely a dress,� says Lajoie. “But it wouldn’t cover your butt! It was, um, exposing a lot.� Lest any “stories� of these gowns be lingering in the form of stains or smells, Gadue’s is dry-cleaning each one in time for May 7, when a special boutique at the University Mall will allow prom-goers to make their picks. Donations are ongoing at the high schools, and at the Flynn Center from April 28 to May 1, during Lyric’s Cinderella run. With nearly 100 dresses on hand from initial “drop days� — plus the leftovers from A Little Glamour — there will be plenty of options: slinky, black, strapless dresses to baby-blue A-lines; citrus-colored confections to burgundy velvet. A sneak peak suggests there will be something for every taste, even those going for more of a Helen of Troy look. As Lajoie points out, “You never know what someone’s going to take and turn into something beautiful.� m

Lake Views Book review: Wandering Home by Bill McKibben
T
oward the end of his 10th book, nature writer Bill McKibben makes a disarming admission. “I am, as you have doubtless already gathered, an incompetent naturalist,” he STORY MARGOT tells us. “Beyond the obvious HARRISON — trillium, loon, monarch — names tend to slip from Wandering Home: my memory . . . It’s the genA Long Walk eral, the trend, the feeling that Across America’s somehow sticks with me.” Most Hopeful The passage is cannily Landscape: written, and succinctly sums Vermont’s Champlain Valley up both the strengths and and New York’s limitations of McKibben’s Adirondacks approach. He doesn’t offer by Bill McKibben, Crown Journeys, the breathtaking knowledge 160 pages, $16. or densely layered detail of a nature writer such as Barry Lopez, who makes us see more life teeming in a landscape than we could possibly have imagined. Though McKibben is far from “incompetent” when it comes to sketching an ecosystem, his special skill lies in placing himself on the level of his likely readers, who don’t have to memorize the species of trillium or classify the calls of the loon to feel that these things matter. He knows that most of us amateur nature lovers do focus on the “general,” the “trend” and the “feeling” when we make decisions: We recycle because clear-cuts are ugly; we buy local produce because we prefer a landscape of farmsteads to one of McMansions. To want to preserve a landscape, we first have to love it.
hike from his second home in Ripton to his first home in the dark heart of Adirondack Park, near Crane Mountain. Taken in high summer, McKibben’s twisty walk is humid and bug-ridden, but it’s no solitary vision quest. The author stops frequently to chat with friends, some of whom accompany him on legs of his journey. From these carefully chosen encoun-
McKibben’s not just contemplating the “Verandacks” in the abstract; he’s feeling them under his feet. Accordingly, McKibben makes no attempt to hide his bias in favor of the region he describes in Wandering Home, one he jocularly calls “Adimont” and “the Verandacks.” “To me,” he writes, “this country on either side of Lake Champlain, though it has no name and appears on no map as a single unit, constitutes one of the world’s few great regions, a place more complete, and more full of future promise, than any other spot in the American atlas.” The book’s conceit is that McKibben is not just contemplating the “Verandacks” in the abstract; he’s feeling them under his feet. Written for Random House’s Crown Journeys — a series of books in which acclaimed authors take the reader on “walking tours” — the slim Wandering Home chronicles McKibben’s three-week
ters, McKibben’s “big picture” emerges. It’s one in which the Vermont and New York sides of the lake appear in different colors, the patchwork of pastoral culture and the deep green of wilderness. In Vermont, McKibben talks to people with “fascinating dreams, some of them fever dreams,” about sustainable, locally based economies: a wine-maker, a “kingpin of hemp,” Middlebury students wheedling money from the student government to grow organic vegetables. On the other side of the lake, he hears from people who are intent on preserving the land in its “wild” state — such as John Davis, a founder of the journal Wild Earth, who’s using private philanthropy to create an intact forest corridor between the lake and the High Peaks. As McKibben sees it, the Adirondack and

FROM WANDERING HOME: My weariness set me up for one of those moments that you wouldn’t fully appreciate under any other circumstance. Reaching the highway (if that’s what you want to call the Blue Ridge Road — it is two lanes, but it’s about as busy as the post office on Sunday), I turned left because in the distance I could see a low building with a sign out front. Real estate? Chain-saw-carved bears? Or, just maybe, food and drink? It took me twenty minutes to get there, but when I did — well, it was like some kind of desert mirage that turns out to be real. Odd but real. The establishment was called the Adirondack Bison Company, and indeed there was a herd of bison out back, in a small meadow carved out of the woods that stretched for miles in every direction. That was queer enough, but there was also a deck overlooking the bison pasture, and on it was one of those telescopes like you’d see at Niagara Falls, where if you put in a quarter you could watch the bison standing in the dust very close up. You could make out every bison hair! But I didn’t do any bison-gazing for about half an hour. Instead, I went into the tiny store, which featured four things: vast quantities of bison jerky, a cooler full of Snapple, some garden produce, and a table piled with homemade desserts on Styrofoam plates wrapped in Saran wrap. Without saying a word I drained three lemonades and ate two slabs of chocolate cake and a piece of blueberry pie (fifty cents apiece) — it was as if every food dream of the last few days had somehow managed to assemble itself here on this lonely road, with a herd of bison thrown in for good measure. My belly comfortably distended, I sat on the porch and chatted with the proprietors, who manifestly had not been born in California. They were not New Age bison herders. They were people who had lived here all their lives and thought there might be some money in bison. Or maybe they just liked bison — abstract questions didn’t get very far. So we chatted about the news of the central Adirondacks (“A bear climbed a power pole over to Long Lake last night. Electrocuted himself. Knocked out power to the entire town.”) and discussed the peculiar buying habits of tourists (“city folks like big kernels on their corn”). So, I said, is there a restaurant around here somewhere where I can get a bison steak? The rancher looked at me a little funny, as if the thought hadn’t occurred to him. And then he said, “Well, they have it over to Vermont.” Which struck me as the punch line for a long, complicated joke I’d been telling for the last ten days.

Healthy Discussions Vermont approaches to the landscape reflect a similar split in nature writing between gonzo wilderness defender Edward Abbey and Kentucky farmer Wendell Berry, who promoted a “communalist,” pastoral ideal. McKibben has perfected a writing style that mimics the up-and-down rhythms of speech, asserting and questioning, turning the reader into his hiking companion. “Do you see what I mean?” he asks, after walking us through the community-owned enterprises of Bristol. “People are trying things here.” He’s partial to starting sentences with “maybe” and to describing people and places with coy superlatives: John Davis is “in insanely good shape”; the Hudson is “dropdead gorgeous”; a raft ride makes him feel “more or less perfect.” The book often reads like an overgrown monologue from the National Public Radio show, “This American Life,” and there’s something a bit offputting about being addressed so conversationally when you can’t talk back. Still, McKibben’s chattiness keeps the book from getting solemn, and most readers will appreciate the way he mixes his
heartfelt environmentalism with irreverence. Among the targets of his wry humor are Subarus — “so nearly ubiquitous [in Vermont] that it’s impossible to recognize your neighbor by his vehicle” and the fleets of 46ers climbing the High Peaks: “If you know an Adirondack summit is 3950 feet high, then you know you’ll have it all to yourself.” McKibben can riff entertainingly on the contrasts between Lake Champlain’s two cultures. But his love of the region comes through as he maintains that, despite their geographic, economic and cultural differences, the inhabitants of the lake’s two shores need to stick together. McKibben acknowledges that the wilderness advocates, the Adirondack old-timers, and the hoeing college students all seem to stand on the losing side of history — if by “history” we mean “the march of the big-box stores, the decline in the number of farmers,” and the powerful lure of “More and Cheaper.” But he also suggests that opposition isn’t doomed, so long as it draws strength from its roots in a landscape. “[S]ometimes,” he writes, “. . . history churns up its own countercurrents.” m

VAN PLAN I am writing in response to your April 6 article, “No Free Ride,” about transportation for people with disabilities. I am a survivor of a threemonth coma and traumatic brain injury. These were the results from an accident while in the U.S. Navy. I have spent the last 15 years of my life recovering from my injuries, and advocating for disabilities in one form or another. I am now in a wheelchair, and on about four different state committees. I need to get around the community, for all the same reasons anyone else does! I could not do this without the services of SSTA. Upon reading your article, I made the following response to a friend: I admire what SSTA is doing and has done for me for the 10 years that I have been using their transportation services to get me to my doctor’s appointments and work around Chittenden County. SSTA has empowered me to step up to the plate and take my recovery further. I could not have done this without them. They have played an extremely valuable role in my life. I look forward to future dealing with this service! Articles like this one point out problems, but offer no ideas for a solution. How is that helpful? The board of directors at SSTA will tweak the system, and make the necessary corrections to provide the taxpayers a more efficient operation. It sounds like there is room for improvement. I think that competition can only be healthy. The leadership at SSTA seems to accept that there is room for growth to make their services more efficient. However, I do not like the fact that I could be transported in a cab for $8 a ride if the driver will put my wheelchair in the trunk rather than a handicap van. When a handicap van is sent, I have no choice but to use a much more expensive service! Jason Whitney BURLINGTON
SHARE THE ROAD My name is Mirabai Isaacs. I am a native Vermonter and I have a traumatic brain injury (TBI) since a reckless teenage car accident in September 1993. Thus, I am often dependent on some type of public transportation. I visit a friend who is in a discouraging stage of survival. On the morning of April 15, 2005, I relied on SSTA transportation, which I truly enjoy using because the drivers usually glow with compassion and an earnest commitment to enable others using transit services to stay involved.

Frankly, I am appalled by the April 6 article “No Free Ride?� First of all, J.J. Martell is introduced as a partially assisted member of our inclusive society. He commutes to his job, just like 353,400 other working Vermonters do every day. So yes, there are a substantial number of uniquely accessible passenger vans. Sometimes the very well trained drivers must strap down the wheelchair-mobile folks. Big deal. And this is part of the service that is required in every bloody state. And if a few are bothered by Martell’s chair, they should live in a separatist society. We all experience the minor but likely delays in daily traffic. These rights are there for you, too, as well as Martell. The individuality in our country is partially what makes America such a priceless home to have. I feel good when my taxpaying dollars actually contribute to enhancing other lives, and fewer gripes are muttered by providing transportation services. Taxes are supposed to better the general society’s style of living, no? Well, then, public transportation must be available for all to ride. Let us push for greater federal funding to give us greater capacities. Why not adopt more thoughtful and effective planning routines? We can develop a transportation system that will serve us all. Public transportation is meant to serve everyone. Mirabai Isaacs BARRE TOWN
GETTING AROUND I recently read your article, “No Free Ride� [April 6]. I was happy to see public transit get frontpage press! The article informs us of the costs for public transit. However, I feel it is a sad comment on our society when we start to pit the transportation needs of people with disabilities and seniors who depend on public transit for their basic mobility with the transportation needs of the general public. All Vermonters need transportation. I would like to introduce the Chittenden community to Riders of Vermont (RoVer). The mission of RoVer is to become the voice of Vermonters who depend on public and community transportation. We work through informed citizen action to improve public and community transportation services so all Vermonters have the access to the transportation services they need for basic mobility to live independently and participate in their communities. RoVer is organizing community RoVer Teams across Vermont. If you would like more information about RoVer and starting a Burlington community RoVer Team, please call 223-6655 or email abdo_susan @hotmail.com. RoVer believes that public transit is a right rather than a privilege. Susan Abdo

after Heather was raped by a man known to her and many other people in her small, rural community, the 11-year-old Vermont girl learned that she was carrying her attacker’s child. Heather (not her real name) had had no prior sexual experience and didn’t even know she was pregnant; her mother had to tell her. But since they live in one of the most ardently pro-choice states in the country, her mother assumed it wouldn’t be difficult to terminate the pregnancy. Vermont is one of only a handful of states that puts no legal restrictions on when a woman can get an abortion. In fact, since Heather and her mother are lowincome Vermonters and receive public assistance, Medicaid could have paid for the procedure. Unlike most states, which are subject to the Hyde Amendment — the 1976 federal law that prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for an abortion — Vermont will cover the cost of a medically indicated abortion for low-income women who qualify under the Vermont Health Access Plan. And no one questioned the need for Heather’s abortion; a pregnancy at her age could have been deadly. The problem was, the family couldn’t find anyone in the state to do it. Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, which is by far the state’s largest abortion provider, has four clinics in Vermont. Only three provide surgical abortions and just one, the clinic in Burlington, can perform the procedure past 12 weeks of gestation. But for

medical reasons, even that facility will not perform a surgical abortion past 16 weeks. As if the trauma of her rape and pregnancy weren’t enough, Heather was refused an abortion by three different hospitals in the state. (To protect her identity and location, the girl’s legal advocate declined to identify which ones.) Finally, she was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. But due to medical complications, the surgery required that she stay overnight, which cost the family more than $2000. And since the procedure wasn’t performed in Vermont, state Medicaid funds wouldn’t pay for it. The family had no other health insurance. Such are the harsh realities of abortion access in the Green Mountain State. Polls have consistently shown that most Vermonters support the right of a woman to obtain a safe and legal abortion, and the Legislature has repeatedly adopted resolutions affirming a woman’s right to privacy and reproductive freedom. Vermont’s 1947 law that made it a crime for a person to assist a woman to terminate her pregnancy was struck down in 1972. The Vermont Supreme Court ruled that the law was “hypocritical” and unenforceable, since it recognized a woman’s right to get an abortion but didn’t allow her to exercise that right. Thirty-three years later, however, the practical realities of abortion access in the state can be just as restrictive as a legal ban. Currently, 43 percent of Vermont counties have no abortion provider, according to the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL).
And as the cost of all medical care continues to skyrocket, and transportation remains a problem in large sections of the state, a woman’s ability to end a pregnancy in Vermont is often determined by dollars and cents. In short, abortion access has once again become a class issue — as it was in the years before Roe v. Wade — and reproductivehealth advocates now warn that increasing numbers of low-income women are not getting the services they need. Wynona Ward is an attorney and founder of Have Justice–Will Travel, a nonprofit organization that provides legal and social services to women and children who are the victims of domestic violence. Based in Chelsea, Vermont, Have Justice– Will Travel was founded in 1998 to provide legal aid to Vermonters who couldn’t afford an attorney. But as the group evolved, its role expanded to include a range of social services, such as arranging transportation to and from court for women seeking to secure protective orders, food and housing assistance to remove women and children from abusive homes, and medical referrals for reproductive-health services such as emergency contraception or — as in Heather’s case — abortions. Heather’s situation wasn’t unusual for Have Justice–Will Travel, according to Ward. The girl’s mother couldn’t afford to travel to Boston or stay overnight in a motel, so Ward arranged for Vermont Crime Victim Services to help defray the cost. In fact, Ward says that she sees plenty of low-income women who become pregnant due to rape or incest. What surprised her, she says, is how few options are
available to someone in Heather’s predicament. “I think that Vermonters feel that they can just walk into a hospital or a doctor’s office and say, ‘I need an abortion,’ and just get one, no matter what age they are or what medical complications they might have,” says Ward. “Frankly, that’s what I always thought.” With 14 community hospitals scattered throughout the state, many Vermonters assume that emergency reproductive services are available right around the corner. But the numbers tell a different story. In 2002 (the last year for which the Vermont Department of Health has statistics avail-

It should be emphasized that in 2002, first-
because of the high risk of cardiac complications. Emergency contraception such as RU-486 is one option available to many women, particularly rape victims. It’s standard protocol in Vermont hospitals to offer emergency contraception to victims of sexual assault — assuming they’re recognized as assault victims or admit to having been raped. (Many do not, experts say, and some physicians don’t look for it.) According to Vermont’s reproductive-health advocates, there are no reliable statistics on who provides emergency contraception or how often. Nationally, six states have laws ensuring that sexual-assault survivors are given

Of those, only 14 took place in hospitals — an average of one per hospital per year. The vast majority of abortions (1403) were done in clinics. Another 218 were performed in doctors’ offices. But as noted earlier, the only place in Vermont where a woman can receive an elective abortion past 12 weeks is at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Burlington. Fletcher Allen Health Care, the state’s largest hospital, has a policy dating back to 1972 that it will not perform any elective abortions at all. The hospital does, however, provide

But for women whose decision to get an abortion is delayed due, say, to medical complications, financial limitations or mental-health issues, the options in Vermont can dwindle rapidly. Cost isn’t the only barrier to access, even in Burlington. For example, no health-care providers in the state will perform an elective surgical abortion on a woman who is abusing heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine or other stimulant drugs,

stances couldn’t be more different than Heather’s. The couple is married and well educated, and has good health insurance coverage and the means to travel anywhere in the country for medical care. In the summer of 2000, Nancy learned that she was pregnant with identical twins. The couple already had a 2year-old daughter and very much wanted her to have a sibling. But 16 weeks into the pregnancy, Nancy’s obstetrician at Fletcher Allen told her there was a complication. The fetuses suffered from a rare condition known as twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. Basically, the arteries of one fetus were crossed with the veins of the other. The condition is usually fatal to the fetuses. Those that do survive invariably suffer severe medical problems and don’t live very long. Initially, Nancy and Dan sought medical consultation from research hospitals around the country, which were doing cutting-edge research to save fetuses like theirs. But it soon became clear that these procedures were still very much at the experimental stage. And the severity of Nancy’s case made it highly probable that at least one fetus would die and the other would be born with severe birth defects. The couple had already discussed what they would do if faced with such a predicament. As Dan notes, “If you make a decision to bring a severely challenged child into the world, it’s going to be defining not only the parents’ lives. It’s going to redefine the sibling’s life, too.” Nancy’s doctor told her there was a good chance she would miscarry one or both fetuses naturally, but that was an undesirable option for her. The couple was afraid that if the fetuses lived until 24 weeks, they might be born prematurely and be kept alive by extraneous means and with no quality of life. “It was a dangerous, dangerous game, with profound implications in everybody’s lives,” Dan recalls. After weighing all their options, the couple made the difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy at 17 weeks. But it was soon apparent that their obstetrician wasn’t comfortable with their decision and handed off their case to the department of maternal fetal medicine at Fletcher Allen. Nancy and Dan, who had already researched which procedures were appropriate under the circumstances, asked for a surgical procedure known as dilation and evacuation, which typically takes less than an hour. However, the medical staff at Fletcher Allen told them that a surgical termination wasn’t an option, and recommended that they induce labor instead. If that was their only choice, Dan recalls, the couple at least wanted to bring about “fetal demise in utero,” which
SEVEN DAYS | april 27-may 04, 2005 | feature 31A
they considered the most humane outcome. Again, hospital staff advised against that procedure. According to Dan, they were told the staff was “not comfortable” doing it. Twenty-two hours after being given labor-inducing drugs, Nancy delivered both fetuses. One lived for half an hour, the other for more than two hours. Both died in their parents’ arms. Afterwards, Dan and Nancy say, the nurses repeatedly asked them
will perform “medically indicated” abortions — i.e., when the pregnancy puts the mother’s health at risk — or when a fetal or genetic abnormality is identified, such as spina bifida, Down Syndrome or anencephaly. Fletcher Allen will perform medically indicated abortions up to 22 weeks, according to Bernstein, and occasionally provides them beyond 22 weeks, but only after consulting with the hospital’s ethics committee.
fear of protests or violence against their staff, a hospital spokesperson admitted. The spokesperson also noted that the Hanover hospital performs very few elective procedures. Not surprisingly, every hospital that responded to Seven Days’ query indicated that the primary reason it either doesn’t do abortions at all, or performs very few of them, is because a Planned Parenthood clinic is nearby. In effect, Vermont’s hospitals have

Four years later, and after having another healthy child, Nancy is finally able to discuss her ordeal publicly. (The couple asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retribution from antiabortion extremists.) In the interim, they learned that nationally, the vast majority of pregnancy terminations at 17 weeks are performed surgically, using the procedure they had asked for. They say they’ve also learned that certain medical professionals on the Fletcher Allen staff are fundamentally opposed to abortions. And they’ve heard from others who have had similar experiences. The couple now believes that medical decisions in their case were driven more by ideology than medical circumstance. “If they had said to us, ‘We’re not comfortable doing this procedure. Go to New York or Boston or Montréal,’ we would have done it,” Nancy says. “But they lied to us and said it was unsafe for me.” “We had the means to go elsewhere and they knew that,” adds Dan. “I feel like we were manipulated.”
Fletcher Allen doesn’t have a written policy that it provides to the public about when it will perform abortions and under what circumstances. Vermont’s reproductive-rights advocates find this disturbing, especially since the hospital’s director of medical ethics, Dr. Robert Orr, has been a frequent speaker at right-to-life rallies and is an outspoken opponent to stem-cell research and physicianassisted suicide. Dr. Ira Bernstein is vice chair for Obstetrics at Fletcher Allen’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, as well as director of maternal fetal medicine. Bernstein explains that the hospital has “a fair amount of flexibility” about when it will terminate a pregnancy. He says Fletcher Allen staff
He confirms that most terminations after 16 weeks are done by induced labor, as was the case with Nancy and Dan. “We have people in OB/GYN who clearly feel strongly about elective terminations and some forms of medically indicated fetal terminations,” Bernstein says. But he insists that all medical decisions at Fletcher Allen are made on a case-by-case basis and based on the medical facts of the case. He denies that medical decisions are driven by ideology or influenced by religious organizations, as some critics have charged. When asked if the hospital will perform abortions in cases of rape or incest, Bernstein says that, again, those decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. As for 11-year-old Heather, Bernstein says that he has heard rumors about her case, but that Fletcher Allen was not one of the hospitals that refused her service. “If we had that kind of case come to us, we’d probably do it here,” he says. “But I’ve been here since 1987, and no one has ever approached me with that question . . . If an 11year-old came in pregnant, we would work to make that termination happen.” It’s worth noting that Fletcher Allen’s policy on abortions isn’t that different from those at other hospitals in Vermont. For example, Northwest Medical Center in St. Albans has no written policy about abortions, either, and Rutland Regional Medical Center has a policy but doesn’t make it available to the public. According to a spokesperson at Rutland Regional, abortions there are “a very rare occurrence” anyway; she says the last elective procedure they did was about 10 years ago. Similarly, DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire, which serves many southern Vermonters, has no written policy on abortion, though it does perform elective terminations up to 12 weeks. However, like several other hospitals queried, it does not advertise that service, largely out of
decided that the potential for demonstrations, negative publicity and/or threats of violence against patients or staff simply isn’t worth the risk.
Vermont’s judicial track record on abortion and the current political makeup of the Legislature remain solidly prochoice. Even the most skeptical pro-choice advocates in Vermont say that if the Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade tomorrow, Vermont law would remain unchanged. Likewise, most don’t expect that neighboring states New York, Maine or New Hampshire would criminalize abortion, either, though they might enact more restrictions. Nevertheless, pro-choice advocates say that cost and geography will continue to be major access barriers for women. “I think most Vermonters do not realize that [having] legal abortions is not enough,” says Rachel Frida Siegel, a board member of Vermont Access to Reproductive Freedom (VARF). “Roe v. Wade does not mean that everyone is covered and everyone is safe.” VARF is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization that provides funding to Vermont women who cannot afford to pay for abortions on their own. Like Planned Parenthood’s Laura Fund, VARF works with low-income women who could not otherwise afford an abortion. In its first two years, VARF has already given out more than $30,000 to about 100 women whose annual income averaged less than $10,000. About 35 percent of those women had to leave the state for an abortion. “When we started, there was a really big question mark in a lot of people’s minds about whether Vermont, which has really good policies compared to most states and has coverage from Planned Parenthood, really needed another abortion fund,” Siegel recalls. “And the answer is, absolutely yes. There are probably still women falling through the cracks.” m

nown as the “Great Profile” for his dashing good looks, John Barrymore epitomized the original Hollywood bad boy. Fueled by a steady diet of alcohol, Barrymore worked his way through four STORY colorful wives, grappled with a dysfuncAMANDA tional family, and stirred up scandal with WALKER his wit and naughty behavior. The latter ranged from bedding starlets to relieving IMAGE himself in a potted palm beside a group of MATTHEW conservatives at a high-end restaurant.

Peoples Academy, In the current production, Russ Morrisville, Longtin, a theater professor at Johnson May 8, 7 p.m. State College, excels as the irresistible Free. womanizer in Barrymore. The play’s premise is simple: A month before his death, the aging actor prepares to stage a comeback by playing Richard III. While working with a prompt, who remains offstage, Barrymore reminisces about his life. But his relationship with the past is complex; Luce’s Barrymore isn’t a sentimental old diva recounting his glory days, but a character not unlike Richard himself: He’s struggling to find a niche in his famous family and grappling with a crumbling body that in its prime brought him money, fame and adoration. The script balances Barrymore’s wicked wit — with references to, for example, the correlation between the size of his nose and that of his “hose” — with his vulnerability. His more human side is particularly evident when he confronts his unpleasant family history, including violence at the hands of his father, and his overpowering need to drink. Longtin is a seasoned professional with 35 years of experience. He easily commands the stage with his voice and physical presence from the moment he steps into the light in a stunning, double-

breasted suit, a coat ostentatiously resting on his shoulders. For Longtin’s Barrymore the stage is home, and over nearly two hours he develops an easy rapport with the audience. The actor captures Barrymore’s inherent contradictions: He is insecure and bombastic; he is embarrassed by his age and still, in his mind, the young lover; he is clinging to dreams and yet gives himself over to regret. Longtin captures the imagination with his heartfelt embodiment of the character’s multidimensionality. Longtin has a particularly well-tuned voice and uses it to great effect throughout the performance. Whether delivering a literary verse or a dirty limerick, he emulates the great actors of the early 20th century. The rich texture of Longtin’s vocal work delights the ear and communicates Barrymore’s power to influence and seduce with his dulcet tones. In fact, the character’s voice has its own history: Barrymore recounts learning “diction” in his stepmother’s bed at age 14, and striving to imitate his Cambridge-educated father’s pronunciation. Kudos to Longtin for meticulously developing a voice that reflects such emotional and technical complexity. When digressing into Hamlet’s monologues — etched into Barrymore’s longterm memory and more satisfying than Richard’s elusive lines — Longtin speaks the verse with passion and beauty. He takes full ownership of Shakespeare’s poetry and, in doing so, communicates the fact that Barrymore was the most celebrated Shakespearean actor of his day. Longtin’s delivery of Hamlet’s famous speech about his loss of mirth is particularly poignant. Longtin staged the play himself without a director. The production is mostly solid, the pace mostly superb through both acts. At times, though, Longtin rushes transitions, and he reveals the depths of Barrymore’s vulnerability rather too early in the evening. A perceptive director might have polished these inconsistencies.

The rich texture of Longtin’s vocal work delights the ear and communicates Barrymore’s power to influence and seduce with his dulcet tones. Barrymore’s dialogue with the off-stage prompt, played by Jeff Maclay, also hampered the production, largely because the relationship between his character and Barrymore is underdeveloped. But this is also due to the challenge, created by the playwright, of remaining off-stage throughout the show. Additionally, Maclay’s speech jolts the ears; while Longtin has perfected a period-style voice, Maclay’s remains utterly modern. (Joe Hannon also plays the role; the two actors perform on alternate nights.) Longtin is touring this production throughout the state, and his choice of the Hardwick Opera House was inspired. The venue has a beautiful painted cur-
tain, six feet of which were left visible at the top of the proscenium arch. This was an excellent touch. Although the play has no special set per se, the Hardwick Opera House, built in 1860, was the perfect type of setting for Barrymore’s comeback. But his declamation that he “rented this godforsaken dump for one night” to perform “Richard the Turd” may not get the same laughs when Longtin plays Burlington’s contemporary FlynnSpace this week. Overall, Barrymore is a satisfying evening of theater. In Hardwick, only a handful turned out to see Longtin’s labor of love. A larger audience will surely further energize this excellent performance. m

t an age when most young guys are listening to bands custom-tailored to annoy parents, Eric and Leigh Gibson were exploring music more old-time than MTV. “Oh we were weird,” 33-year old Eric told Seven Days in a recent phone interview from his home in upstate New York. “But the music my friends were listening to didn’t make much sense to me as a farm boy,” he explains. Bluegrass music, a growing obsession for himself and his brother, was a hard sell for his peers. “They thought I was a little whacked, but I didn’t care. I knew when I picked up that banjo or guitar, I could lose five hours in a hurry.” From their humble beginnings on the family dairy farm in Ellenburg Depot, New York, to national and international acclaim, the Gibson Brothers have done things their own way. “We have an openminded approach to our music,” says Eric. “We’re a bluegrass band, but we’ll do a song by Ray Charles, The Rolling Stones or The Band — a good song is a good song.” The approach seems to be working; The Gibson Brothers are currently enjoying the kind of success it takes many pickers decades to achieve. Over the course of five critically acclaimed albums, the duo has displayed a knack for sophisticated songcraft that still adheres to tradition. And how many acts can boast that they’re huge in Plattsburgh? The Gibson Brothers can; they’ve dominated Peacock Music’s top 10 for nearly a year. The “boys,” as they’re still referred to across the lake, bring their tight-knit vocal harmonies, affable humor and crack band to the Vergennes Opera House on April 28. Born just 11 months apart, Eric and Leigh enjoyed a fairly typical rural upbringing. Baseball and church functions filled the spare hours, but music was always encouraged in the Gibson household. The fledgling musicians started playing at age 12 and 11, respectively. “Dad bought a banjo and a guitar, and we had a piano that Mom could peck out a few melodies on,” Eric remembers. “They listened to music a lot, but when we started — whew! I remember many nights when we’d get done with chores and supper, get our instruments, and Mom and Dad would sit down and listen to us for three or four hours. I’ve heard a tape of what we sounded like back then, and it was God awful. But somehow they put up with it.” The brothers began as an instrumental duo, with Eric on banjo and Leigh on guitar. In an inspired bit of early career advice, their church minister pointed out that there might be something missing. “He said, ‘Boys, words are important. People like words,’” Eric recalls. “But we had to work up our courage. Eventually we sang in front of the church — they tend to be more tolerant than in other places, probably!” From there, the Gibsons refined their
vocal technique by emulating the legends of bluegrass and country music. “Around that time we got our hands on some old Don Rich and Buck Owens recordings, and they had the best duets,” Eric says. “That’s when it all started to make sense with the harmonies.” Although music was quickly becoming a huge part of their lives, the brothers
temporarily set aside their acoustic ambitions to concentrate on college. Eric attended school in Ithaca, Leigh in Plattsburgh. “I left my banjo home for the first seven weeks I was there, actually,” says Eric. “I had baseball dreams in my head, and I went down there to pitch. I quickly learned that 82 miles per hour might be fast for Ellenburg Depot, but it’s not fast enough.” He subsequently dropped his ballpark fantasies and earned a degree that he actually used. “I was a tenured English teacher for four years, teaching junior high and high school,” Eric says. By that point, he and Leigh were playing together again, booking shows that took them far from the family farm. Soon they were recording what would become their debut album. Augmented by “third brother” Mike Barber on upright bass and his dad Junior on resophonic guitar, the Gibson Brothers released their debut disc Long Forgotten Dream on Virginia’s Hay Holler label in 1996. Suddenly getting serious about music, Eric was forced to do some soulsearching. “I had a crisis of conscience,”

he explains. “I was out in California playing a gig during finals — my principal was a big fan of the band, luckily — and I thought, ‘What kind of teacher am I? I’m in California during finals week.’ That summer I talked to my wife about taking a year of absence to concentrate on music. Well, it’s been seven now, and I’ve never gone back.”
the release of Another Night, they signed to Ricky Skaggs’ label, hoping to kickstart the next phase in their careers. Heading to Nashville with band in tow, Eric and Leigh abandoned their bluegrass roots in favor of a straight-ahead country sound. “It was kind of our wilderness time,” Eric recalls. “We tried for the mainstream, but we somehow made an

The Gibson Brothers are currently enjoying the kind of success it takes many pickers decades to achieve.
Their third release for Hay Holler, 1998’s Another Night of Waiting, received generous airplay and earned the group the International Bluegrass Music Association’s “Emerging Artist of the Year” award. It was an exciting time for the Gibsons, as they began sharing stages with many of their heroes. “Early on we met Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley and Doc Watson — they were all so enthusiastic and friendly. Sometimes you feel stupid ’cause you don’t know what to say to them. But you just have to get it off your chest — they’re why you got started in the first place. “When I met Earl Scruggs, I made a fool of myself,” Eric continues. “I came bounding up to him like a 22-year-old farm boy and said, ‘I’m gonna do something I’ve always wanted to do!’ and he just took a step away from me like I was nuts. And I said, ‘No, no — I just want to shake your hand!’ I felt like such a doofus. But it meant so much for me to meet that man.” Despite their early success, the duo encountered frustrating times. Following
album that was too country for country radio. Ricky said it was like ‘Buck Owens meets the Everly Brothers.’” Skaggs began soliciting major labels for assistance. A Nashville subsidiary of Atlantic Records agreed to pick up the record, but the parent company eliminated the branch before the disc could be released. The brothers, and their musical effort, were left in limbo. “We just kept waiting and waiting,” Eric recalls. “Finally, I just called Leigh one day and said, ‘Leigh, let’s go play some bluegrass. We know how to do that.’” Signing to Sugar Hill Records let the band return to their initial inspirations. Their first two recordings for the label — Bona Fide and their latest, Long Way Home — exceeded commercial and critical expectations. “We had two number-one bluegrass records with Sugar Hill,” Eric relates. “What I love about the label is that they let us produce our own records. We put out bluegrass albums, but they don’t care if we experiment a little bit and step outside of the box once in a while.” The Gibson Brothers recently finished recording their third release for the imprint. The as-yet-untitled record comes out in October. Although bluegrass requires a great deal of musical discipline, the Gibson Brothers strive to keep their concerts easygoing. “I’ve seen a lot of the old masters of the past, and they look like they’re up there ready for a gunfight,” Eric says with a laugh. “That isn’t us. We want to have fun. I want people coming to the shows to forget their problems for a couple hours and, hopefully, have a good time.” Bluegrass already has a long and vibrant history, but it’s not time to close the book just yet. By honoring the past while simultaneously looking forward, the Gibson Brothers are helping to keep the music alive in the 21st century. “We don’t want to go back and sound just like anybody,” Eric Gibson says. “I hope people hear our records and say, ‘That’s the Gibson Brothers — that duo from upstate New York.’” 쩾

BREAKING BOUNDARIES :: Acoustic guitar phenomenon
Kaki King is rewriting the rules of solo performance.
Originally a drummer, the 5-foot tall, 25-year-old King brings a percussionist’s attack to the instrument, crafting haunting, mostly instrumental tunes that are both technically impressive and sublimely soulful. Her new album, Legs to Make Us Longer, finds the guitarist expanding her sonic palette, adding lap steel, vocals and cello to the mix. She returns to Vermont for an intimate performance at the Higher Ground Ballroom Wednesday, May 4. An Atlanta native living in New York City, King cut her teeth playing in subway stations throughout the Big Apple. Darker singer-songwriters such as Elliott Smith and Mark Kozelek are major influences, but King takes inspiration from more unusual sources as well. The tension and release of 20th-century classical music informs her compositions, which run from the delicately soothing to the dizzyingly intense — often in the same song. Seven Days recently chatted with King via phone from the road in Louisville, Kentucky. SEVEN DAYS: You’re suddenly a guitar magazine cover girl. How does it feel to be in publications better known for featuring shredder dudes? KAKI KING: It’s actually pretty great. Those magazines are only relevant to the people who are interested in the really esoteric guitar stuff, but I’m humbled to have people consider me worthy of that. Those people don’t print magazines to sell to teenybopper girls who are into cute clothes. SD: How does your background as a drummer affect the way you compose on guitar? KK: Aside from using the guitar as a drum on occasion, I have a very rhythmic style. I’m getting past that, though — the more I play, the more rhapsodic I become. But for most of my songs, there is a clear driving rhythm, even if I’m fingerpicking. And I think that comes from being a drummer. SD: Your tunes have an edgy, urban character. Do your physical surroundings affect your creative process? KK: Possibly. I think that being in New York can play upon the mind in ways that you don’t even realize. But it’s also just what I enjoy. It’s definitely dark, maybe melancholy or introspective. But I think that it comes from being of my generation, too. I grew up with Pearl Jam and so on, and that’s the music that’s affected me. SD: Did you listen to any of the canonized rock guitar heroes? KK: I never really listened to music for technique. I listened because I liked it. I loved The Edge, Johnny Marr, the bassist for New Order, people like that. They had very distinct styles. They weren’t playing the way people had been doing it up to that point. Preston Reed influenced my acoustic style — the tapping and whatnot. A lot of people think I’m really into Michael Hedges. I think he was a great musician, but the stuff he was doing at the end of his life — it was half guitar, half bouncing on a yoga ball and reciting “The Jabberwocky.”
SD: It doesn’t seem that a lot of major labels would take a gamble on instrumental guitar music. How did you end up on Epic? KK: I’m not really sure. The A&R guy that signed me is a Jeff Beck-Joe Satriani-Steve Vai fan. He was impressed on the guitar level, and I was kind of his vanity project. I don’t think anyone really expected this to keep happening, though. But I work hard and I’m constantly touring, so I keep the buzz going. The music industry is truly bizarre. If I was a pack of bubblegum and they were trying to sell me across the country, they wouldn’t say, “We love you, but we don’t have any idea what to do with you.” People either like the gum or they don’t! SD: Now that you’re playing more “conventional” stages, do you ever get the urge to perform in the subways again? KK: Yeah, I do. I’m promoting the album I’ve done, and I’ve been playing these songs for a long time. I went back to the subway when I was working on it, and I probably will again — it’s a very useful place to go to write music. SD: Is there a “type” of Kaki King fan? Who comes to the shows? KK: Lots of geeky boys! But also a lot of people who are just interested in music — men, women, young and old. No one’s ever just a solo guitar fan. They’re music lovers. SD: Do you think being a young woman playing solo guitar will open up doors for aspiring female musicians? KK: I hope so. I never made too much of a big deal of the female thing, but at some point you go, “Whoa — there’s a lot of testosterone out there.” I mean, I was at this festival, and I couldn’t even find anyone to loan me a tampon. The disparity that everyone in the ’90s thought would even out, never really did. But the women who are making music that is creative and interesting . . . It’s amazing, and so unique to them. They’re like, “Who cares? I’m gonna go out and do whatever I want, ’cause I’m already an outsider.

CLUB TAKES OFF
LOCAL BOY MAKES GOOD
Middlebury’s Great Falls Club has found a unique way to provide live music without all the booze and bother. Considered a “private” club, they charge patrons nightly “membership fees” to enjoy the art gallery and performance space, thereby avoiding some of the restrictions facing more conventional venues. It’s a cool idea, and now their schedule is starting to fill up. This Friday, April 29, Addison County’s eclectic rockers The Dirtminers pop by. The band — which currently features Trey Anastasio Band alumni Russ Lawton — has been compared to Warren Zevon, New York Dolls and Meatloaf. Still trying to imagine what that might sound like. The following night, jazz vocalist Adele Nichols performs as part of a series of benefit shows for The Vermont Music Library. The VML gigs continue through May, with Steph Pappas, Meagan Walsh and Rebecca Padula all making appearances. Thanks in part to the Great Falls Club, it looks like there will be plenty of live entertainment in Middlebury throughout the spring season and beyond. Call coowner Doug Lazarus at 388-0239 for more info.
We were already aware that Jon Fishman could play a mean vacuum cleaner solo, but who knew he’d turn out to be such a tireless environmental activist? The ex-drummer for hometown rock stars Phish has gotten involved in a number of causes since the band’s demise, but he’s always been pretty green. Fishman is particularly concerned with the impact of industrialization in the Green Mountains; phans will remember his work with the Phish-sponsored Waterwheel Foundation, a group dedicated to the cleanup of Lake Champlain. Now he’s joined the New England Coalition’s board of trustees. Since 1971, the nonprofit organization has championed safe alternatives to nuclear power by putting pressure on nuclear safety regulators. Their “Energy Van” brings info on renewable energy to 150,000 people a year. Not bad for a ride that runs on veggie oil. Lately, the NEC has taken efforts to block attempts to “supercharge” the antiquated reactor at Vermont Yankee. Fishman hopes his high visibility will give the NEC a boost. “Being on the board will help me use the name that I have made through Phish to further all of the best environmental work in our state,” he said in a recent press release. But the percussion man hasn’t completely forgotten his roots — he gets behind the kit next week with Alexander’s Good Time Band at the NEC’s annual meeting in Walpole, New Hampshire. Wonder if he’ll bring the vacuum?
FESTIVAL PREP For live music lovers, summer in the Green Mountains means one thing: outdoor concerts. Last year spirits were dampened — literally — by a rash of shitty weather, but Northeast Kingdom Music Festival head honcho Ed DuFresne is ready to give it another go. HUGHES The exact dates andBRETT lineup for this year’s show haven’t been confirmed, but DuFresne is planning ahead. To raise some initial capital for the festival — which takes place in August at the Chilly Ranch in Albany, Vermont — his company, edified presents, has put together a couple of special events. First up is the 5th Annual Beltane Bash, taking place at 9 p.m. at the Caspian Lake Grange in Greensboro on Friday, April 29. Featuring the dubby explorations of Brooklyn, New York’s TruMystic and locals MadDub, the show “turns the normally quiet hamlet into a full-on dub-reggae dance party,” according to DuFresne. On Saturday at 8 p.m., Montpelier’s Langdon Street Café will be transformed into an urban-style nightclub for a performance from Big Apple MC Louis Logic. Joined by MC Brycon & DJ Equal, as well as local wax-addict DJ Ellis, Logic will deliver his intelligent, true-to-life rhymes in an intimate setting. Call DuFresne at 229-9942 or email edified2@hotmail.com for info on either event.
MAKING MAGIC A LEGEND GETS LOCAL Wanna hear a hero of Southern roots-based music without leaving the state? In the next several days, you’ll have several chances to do just that. On Monday, May 2, at 8 p.m., Texas singer-songwriter Eric Taylor appears at Burlington’s 1/2 Lounge in an intimate, ticketed performance. He also plays the Good Times Café in Hinesburg on May 3 and 4 at 8 p.m., and hits the Middle Earth Music Hall in Bradford and Montpelier’s Black Door Bar & Bistro next week. Taylor might not be a household name, but his tunes have been performed by the likes of Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett. Griffith calls him the “William Faulkner of songwriting” and Lovett compares his storytelling style to that of Bruce Springsteen. Known for his unique guitar playing and powerful narrative voice, Taylor has influenced several of his Houston contemporaries, such as Guy Clark, Robert Earl Keen and Steve Earle. He’s even headlined the prestigious Newport Folk Festival, so it’s a treat to have him play this string of shows in our backyard. These are all pretty cozy clubs, and tickets will probably go fast. Check our Venues 411 section for contact information.
There’s a growing buzz about Magic City, the Sun Raobsessed space cadets from central Vermont. And for good reason; Michael Chorney’s new combo is truly out of this world. Fronted by vocalist Miriam Bernardo, the group’s unconventional instrumentation — “treated” guitar, upright bass, trombone and viola — makes for seductive music that runs from lightly psychedelic torch songs to passionately polyrhythmic workouts. Although I loved their debut record The June Book, I hadn’t seen the band live until recently. Opening for indie-folk gods Bonnie “Prince” Billie & Matt Sweeney last Tuesday, Magic City delivered hypnotic renditions of several songs from their album. “I’ll Wait for You” was particularly stunning; bassist Robinson Morse deftly wove in and out of Chorney’s smart chord progressions while Andy Moroz contributed shifting trombone lines. Bernardo is capable of delivering richly resonant lows as well as silky highs, and she sounded even better live; the natural reverb of the room added extra color to her already radiant voice. The June Book is a tribute to Sun Ra vocalist June Tyson and contains re-workings of some of the jazz iconoclast’s vast catalogue. I’m not sure what their next release will offer, but it’s a good bet that Magic City will continue to explore the outer limits.

JON GAILMOR, CHECKING IN
SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS, NATURALLY (Daptone Records, CD)
(Self-released, CD)
On Checking In — Jon Gailmor’s sixth release in 27 years of creating music in and about Vermont — the singer-songwriter musically illustrates the textbook he could write about being a successful performer and artist-in-residence in a small, rural state. For this 13-song collection, Gailmor has penned catchy, heartfelt tunes on such diverse subjects as Vermont Town Meeting Day; his mother, wife and daughter; dogs; moose; the history of his adopted hometown of Elmore; water quality; and the trials and tribulations of being a teenager. But it’s not just his songwriting that impresses. Working from their Charlotte studio, engineers Chuck Eller and Lane Gibson created a seamless musical experience from start to finish. Each song has a different texture, and nearly all have an interesting musical turn or two. “Say It Now” — a number currently being performed by vocal group Social Band as part of its “Vermont Composer Series” — features Gailmor’s multi-tracked voice. It’s a fine showcase for his chops; the result is like his own personal choir. There won’t be any Vance Gilbert or Jonathan Edwards comparisons for this effort: From party-boy yelling to sweetly soulful singing, Gailmor has his bases covered. Checking In also delivers on the instrumental end. Several well-known Vermont musicians sit in, giving the project an all-star feel. Eller takes a break from tweaking the faders to contribute keyboards, while David Gusakov, Stacy Starkweather, Jeff Salisbury, Banjo Dan & Willy Lindner and Tom Mackenzie all lend their considerable talents. Don Schabner — who shares production credits on this album with Gailmor — adds tasteful classical guitar to two of my favorite tracks, “Ma” and “Seeds of Home.” You Must Have Known” is dedicated to Gailmor’s daughter Micaela and features a full-blown horn section. Micaela herself sings on the cleverly titled track “Terrierism.” That tune is about Lola, a Circus Smirkus canine celebrity. Some might be put off by the Billy Joel-style slickness of some of Checking In’s orchestration, but you still can’t help but be wowed by how it all comes together. Gailmor has more than enough experience to know exactly what he wants everything to sound like, and how to get there. Long may he play!
ROBERT RESNIK
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings are as righteous as they come. Featuring horns, guitars, bass drums and Jones’ sultry voice, the eight-piece group positively smokes. You’re not likely to hear anything as legitimately funky and soulful as their sophomore album Naturally anytime soon — that is, unless you invent a time machine. This album is so damn good it’s tough not to write in all caps. From the dark strut of opener “How Do I Let a Good Man Down?” to the mellow sway of closing track “All Over Again,” Naturally affects a stone-cold groove. I don’t know how the hell producer/bassist Bosco Mann managed to capture the gritty analog vibe of ’60s soul music, but I can tell you this — it’s bona fide. “Natural Born Lover” shimmies deliciously, its chorus supported by a James Brown-style breakbeat that snaps and cracks with skillet-licking authority. Jones’ performance on the cut instantly gives you shivers; her no-nonsense delivery and smoldering pipes could melt a glacier. And the album only gets better from there. Guest vocalist Lee Fields gives Jones a run for her money on “Stranded in Your Love,” a raunchy little number about a busted-up relationship that nonetheless provides certain “comforts.” Fields’ whiskey-soaked croon is the perfect complement to Jones’ buttery incantations. Sexy, sleek and more than a little volatile, their duet explodes with sassy charisma. “Your Thing is a Drag” is an album highlight; a collision of smart funk vamps and Motown shuffle. A snaky sax solo uncoils in the right speaker while Mann’s spring-loaded bass line froths and bubbles. Gooey, melodic guitar runs color “How Long Do I Have to Wait for You?” — a sweetly earnest plea from a woman ready to let go of the memory of an ex-lover but utterly incapable of doing so. Horns stab around the slippery beat and buoyant bass line like a prizefighter landing strategic jabs; it’s hard to believe they didn’t just find this album in some Muscle Shoals Studios broom closet. In this era of canned beats, loops and super-processed vocals, it’s positively shocking to hear a redblooded rhythm section and unadorned vocalist get so down and dirty. Sharon Jones & the Dap-kings would’ve been near the top of the heap four decades ago; in the present day, they’re uncontestable. Don’t miss them at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Friday, April 29.

Going Straight
W EXHIBIT “Crankcase,” paintings and mixed media by Mr. Masterpiece. Sanctuary 47 Gallery, Burlington. Through June 3.
ARTWORK “Desire” by Mr. Masterpiece
PHOTO Marc Awodey
hen the naïve, jagged, figurative paintings by “Mr. Masterpiece” began to appear in Burlington venues in the late 1980s, it was difficult to know what this mysterious artist with the tongue-in-cheek name was doing. A natural reaction to the moniker was: “Does this guy actually think he’s that good?” But as Mr. Masterpiece — a.k.a. Lindsay Vezina — continued to assiduously refine his style, using close-knit hues and razor-sharp-edged lines, he gradually became a brilliant technician. Today he categorically states, “Taping is for wussies.” More importantly, Mr. Masterpiece has invented an elegant personal aesthetic that is uniquely inspired yet firmly rooted in art history. His current exhibit, “Crankcase,” at Burlington’s Sanctuary 47 Gallery, presents an in-depth overview of his remarkable works. The show includes sketchbooks, seven large-scale paintings and a pair of odd, threedimensional pieces that are both deadpan humorous and deadly serious critiques of the “art scene.” The great French painter Jean-AugusteDominique Ingres is said to have told a young student by the name of Edgar Degas that in order to become a great artist he should “draw many lines, many lines.” Degas took that advice to heart; Mr. Masterpiece appears to have followed a similar path. More than 100 of his filled sketchbooks are piled up in the gallery. A sign above them states that the “100+ sketchbooks represent 15 years of drawing subjects in cafés, bars, strip clubs, etc.” Visitors are welcome to rifle through them. The sketches are remarkably consistent pencil drawings devoid of shading and replete with figures made up of straight lines. Mr. Masterpiece creates space by varying the weights of his lines and manipulating negative space. The artist is a former bartender, as well as a past curator of exhibitions for the Daily Planet, Red
Square and other venues. The relentless act of drawing that world has helped make him a strong painter. Mr. Masterpiece’s paintings bear some resemblance to Italian Futurist canvasses and constructions produced by Giacomo Balla in the 1920s. While they may be unrelated, both artists fashion movement with flat shapes that seem to possess a hidden order of rationality. Forms swoop into each other and are surrounded by dashes, plus signs and thin S-curves. Hues are pared down to minimal yet effective harmonies that dance in white space. “Bandaid” and “Heart Attack” both have deep green borders and stylized texts along the top and lower edges. The texts resemble Sanskrit and are virtually unintelligible. In “Desire,” two female forms are accompanied by the statement, written in cursive, “There’s nothing but trouble and desire.” The forms’ edges and angles slightly overlap at some points and never quite touch at others, as if to echo the painting’s fatalistic written message. The stuffed, wall-mounted creature entitled “Fuzzy Boy Johnson” is like a brown dog with a flat, painted face. Mr. Masterpiece has a long history of creating clown imagery, including self-portraits, and Fuzzy Boy may follow in that tradition. If so, perhaps it hints at the absurd nature of the artist-as-hero myths regularly rehashed by curators and critics. Mr. Masterpiece has also placed on the floor a brick with a clown nose entitled “Brick ‘MansBrick’ Man’s Inhumanity to Man (putting a dress on a pig)” in a swipe at conceptual art’s “inhumanity” to the public. “Conceptual” means different things to different people, and that label could possibly be applied to Mr. Masterpiece’s work since day one. But his conceptual approach is unpretentious and honest, and in that regard he unquestionably lives up to his name. m

PREVIEWS THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY: Douglas Adams’ freewheeling cosmic classic finally makes it to the big screen with this adaptation from director Garth Jennings. Martin Freeman stars as Arthur Dent, an ordinary chap who begins the adventure of a lifetime just as life on earth comes to an end. With Sam Rockwell, Mos Def and Alan Rickman. (110 min, PG-13) XXX: STATE OF THE UNION: Ever notice that sequels to Vin Diesel movies almost never star Vin Diesel? Ice Cube takes the lead in this follow-up, in which a renegade NSA recruit attempts to stop a military splinter group from overthrowing the U.S. government. Also featuring Samuel L. Jackson and Willem Dafoe. Directed by Lee Tamahori. (94 min, PG-13)

The Interpreter HHH
T LUST IN TRANSLATION Penn and Kidman flirt with disaster, and each other, in the latest from Sydney Pollack.
here aren’t many active filmmakers of significance who have turned out marketable work over five decades. Sydney Pollack is a member of that select association, though the mere act of sticking around this long probably has come to lend his career a degree of undeserved luster. After all, he has made fewer than 20 motion pictures, and his reputation rests almost entirely on five of them: They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (’69); The Way We Were (’73); Three Days of the Condor (’75); Tootsie (’82); and Out of Africa (’85). The fact that only one of these is a political thriller and that none were made in the past two decades gives you some idea what to expect from the director’s latest. The Interpreter is a serviceable, craftsmanlike tale of intrigue, and two of the world’s most talented actors were unable to make anything more of it. Nicole Kidman plays a United Nations interpreter who was raised in the fictional South African country of Matobo. The leader of that country is a liberator-turned-genocidal-dictator who’s scheduled to speak before the General Assembly in a matter of days. As fate would have it, she returns to her booth to retrieve some possessions one evening after the UN had been evacuated due to a possible security threat. Her headphones are still live, and she walks in just in time to overhear a whispered threat to someone’s life over them. She surmises that the threat is to the reviled dictator’s life and reports it to the authorities. Sean Penn costars as a Secret Service agent responsible for determining whether Kidman can be trusted. It’s one of the more generic roles the performer has taken on: His character is a world-weary heavy drinker, and he’s recovering from the recent death of his wife. He’s more world-weary than most movie law-enforcement officers because she didn’t just die in a car accident; she died in a car accident beside the guy with whom she was having an affair. In terms of overload, though, Kidman’s character has his backstory beat. Here’s why some government officials can’t decide whether to believe her: a) She grew up in Matobo during the transitional years when the country’s leader was shifting his focus from saving his people to slaughtering them; b) Most of her family was blown up by one of the guy’s landmines; c) People keep coming up with old photographs of her taking part in anti-government rallies and marching with a machine gun; d) Her brother may or may not be involved in
a plot against the tyrant; e) Really, what are the odds of someone picking up a pair of headphones just in time to overhear a whispered death threat? While the United States government is busy trying to ascertain the credibility of Kidman’s character, all sorts of dastardly types go about the business of wreaking political-thriller havoc under the radar. A man wearing an African mask appears at night outside Kidman’s apartment window. Another sinister individual goes around planting bombs, one of them in the vicinity of the despot’s leading rival, who is living in exile in New York. Another plants parts for a makeshift rifle inside the UN, because getting into the building with a weapon would be impossible. And then there’s the dictator’s white head of security, who arrives ahead of him to make arrangements for his safety. Over a period of days he works closely with Penn, who is supposed to be an exceedingly good judge of character. So it’s surprising he’s still having second thoughts about Kidman when anyone in the audience can see this is somebody he should be worried about. The guy might as well be played by Alan Rickman, he’s such an obvious snake in the grass. Before I bring to your attention an even graver lapse in logic, let me point out that The Interpreter is engaging, well acted, periodically exciting and refreshingly grownup stuff. Not a great movie, but a nice time and a welcome break from the season’s nonstop torrent of interchangeable horror films and Ashton Kutcher comedies. However, another draft or two of the script could have helped. A few more scenes like the white-knuckle one set on a city bus, and two or three fewer speeches detailing quaint African customs from Kidman’s character, and we might have wound up a little closer to Condor territory. And then there’s the major incongruity undermining Pollack’s final act. Remember how the UN was evacuated as a precaution at the start of the film? That was after a metal detector was found to be on the fritz. Throughout the climactic sequence of The Interpreter, a world leader and an assassin are in the General Assembly Hall at the same time and the Secret Service knows it, but nobody even suggests getting everyone out of there. Unfortunately for the viewer, Pollack’s handful of missteps translates into a movie-going experience that’s less than it might have been. m

SHORT TAKES ON THE REEL WORLD
On Location
Waterfront customers have already been finding their way to the new digs, which are a bit smaller and forego the original’s retro décor. finding their way to the new digs, which are a bit smaller — 3800 square feet versus about 4400 previously — and forego the original’s retro décor. “It has a different, more modern look,” Folmar says. “I’m putting movie quotes on the wall from Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Groucho Marx, Jack Nicholson, Orson Welles, Mae West.” An operation that once opened at the civilized hour of 11 a.m. may soon start as early as 8:30 to attract some of the busy post office’s customers with java. “We bought the Rolls Royce of coffeemakers,” Folmar notes. “We can even offer cappuccino, latte and espresso.” The change of real estate was not
entirely voluntary. Folmar tussled with Burlington officials for years before the city — after abandoning plans to build a bus terminal at the site — insisted that he make way for the headquarters of clothing giant April Cornell. His reluctant eastward migration is wryly acknowledged on the familiar oval sign above the door: A small addition reading “Off the” now precedes “Waterfront Video.”
Tom Connelly was heading for a career in communications when he became a “man under the influence” of auteurs such as John Cassavetes (A Woman Under the Influence), Stanley Kubrick (The Shining) and Martin Scorsese (Taxi Driver). The 33-year-old South Burling-ton writer-director’s first feature, Strangers in the Night, will screen for free at 7 p.m. on May 4 at the Campus Community Theater in the University of Vermont’s Billings Student Center. Shot primarily in Chittenden County last summer on a spare $1300 budget, Connelly’s digital-video drama follows the misadventures of three thirtysomething couples as they do a little too much drinking and thinking. They’re an angst-ridden lot, alienated from their significant others and each yearning for a vaguely defined future that symbolizes freedom. Connelly, an upstate New York native, was introduced to the intricacies of cinema in 1993 during a required video production course at a
Poughkeepsie community college. That experience convinced him to continue his education at C.W. Post College’s film school on Long Island, where he was exposed to foreign-language fare. “I discovered Robert Bresson, JeanLuc Godard, the French New Wave,” Connelly recalls. “I’d never had that sensibility before.” He also created 16mm shorts. “No Deposit, No Return,” about a homeless man who helps a young girl pursued by thugs, was a 22-minute thesis project. Connelly came north in 1996 to join his wife Katie, now finishing her graduate studies at UVM — where he works as an administrative assistant by day. While submitting Strangers in the Night to various film festivals, Connelly is currently co-authoring an as-yet-untitled script he plans to shoot in the Empire State’s Hudson Valley.
In the Green Mountain State’s Upper Valley, a new seasonal showcase is taking shape. From April 29 through May 1, White River Indie Films will unspool 11 documentaries and one work of fiction at the 130-seat Briggs Opera House. Vermont International Film Festival Executive Director Mira Niagolova has
been hired as artistic director of the White River Junction event, which organizers envision would take place over one long weekend every fall, winter and spring. “The theme this time is ecology, human rights and cultural ideas,” Niagolova says. “Unlike VIFF, it’s not only films about social concerns.” She has booked an eclectic mix that includes the regional premieres of three thought-provoking pictures: Shake Hands with the Devil: The Journey of Romeo Dallaire profiles the Canadian peacekeeper — played by actor Nick Nolte in Hotel Rwanda — who struggled to stop the 1994 genocide that left at least half a million dead in the African nation. Wheel of Time is Werner Herzog’s overview of a Buddhist pilgrimage to India. In Umbrellas, Albert Maysles chronicles a public-art work that Christo and Jeanne-Claude installed on two continents. Local filmmakers are represented with Nothing Like Dreaming by Nora Jacobson of Norwich, Howard Zinn: You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train by Deb Ellis of Burlington, and Beyond 88 Keys by Sue Bettmann of East Middlesex.

fickle fannie BY DAVID DIEFENDORF
READ THIS FIRST:
This week, as always, the things Fannie likes (shown in CAPITAL letters) all follow a secret rule. Can you figure out what it is? NOTE: Fickle Fannie likes words. But each week she likes something different about them — how they’re spelled, how they sound, how they look, what they mean, or what’s inside them.
How come you can say PRICK but never the C-word. It’s a STRETCH to say the Brits have a national cuisine. You can’t smoke Ultra-LIGHTS while piloting an ultralight. Most blockbuster SCRIPTS are banal and moronic. On the TWELFTH day of Christmas I got an Erector Set. When I was eight I put playing cards on my SCHWINN. Cicada NYMPHS are not the kinds you’d want to date. KLUTZ is Yiddish for a block of wood shaped like Lumpy. FRENCH dressing consists of suggestive lingerie. That famous SPHYNX riddle would bomb on Leno. E me with your Qs or comments (dd44art@aol.com). Difficulty rating for this puzzle: AS EASY AS HARD. If you’re stuck, see the HINT on this page. If you cave, see the ANSWER on page 55A. So much for Fickle Fannie’s tastes this week. Next week she’ll have a whole new set of likes and dislikes.

After nine years on Battery Street, the business is now located in the former Alpha Graphics space on Shelburne Road. “We’re in the little outdoor mall with a post office, a Blimpie and good parking,” explains coowner William Folmar. He and his 16 employees spent three days in mid-April schlepping 17,000 films, on tape and DVD, across town. Waterfront customers have already been

KUNG FU HUSTLE HHHH Stephen Chow wrote, directed and stars in this semi-surreal send-up of the Hong Kong martial-arts movie in which a would-be bad guy gets caught in a war between a vicious gang and the inhabitants of a particularly tough neighborhood. Also featuring Yuen Qiu and Leung Siu Lung. (99 min, R) MILLION DOLLAR BABYHHHHH Clint Eastwood follows the highly acclaimed Mystic River with this highly acclaimed character study in which a down-onhis-luck trainer takes on a spunky young fighter and helps her rise through the ranks of women’s boxing. Starring Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman. (137 min, PG-13) MILLIONSHHH1/2 From Trainspotting director Danny Boyle comes this sweet-natured fantasy in which two British boys have just one week to spend a gigantic sack of cash that has literally dropped from the sky. Starring Alex Etel and Lewis McGibbon. (97 min, PG-13) MISS CONGENIALITY 2: ARMED AND FABULOUSH Sandra Bullock is back in action as FBI agent Gracie Hart. This time around, she heads up an effort to rescue close friends who’ve been kidnapped. Regina King and William Shatner costar. John Pasquin directs. (115 min, PG-13) ROBOTSHHH Academy Award-winning director Chris (Ice Age) Wedge brings us a CGI saga set in a world inhabited entirely by mechanical beings. The voice cast includes Ewan McGregor, Greg Kinnear and Robin Williams. (93 min, PG) SAHARAHH Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz are paired in this action-adventure about a master explorer’s dangerous treasure hunt in West Africa. With Steve Zahn and Delroy Lindo. (127 min, PG-13) SIN CITYHHH1/2 Quentin Tarantino, Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez

(120 min, R) THE AMITYVILLE HORRORH1/2 Ryan Reynolds, Melissa George and Jesse James team up for this remake of the 1979 horror chestnut about a family who experience ominous phenomena that seem to be related to their new home’s violent history. Based on a true story. With Philip Baker Hall. (105 min, R) THE AVIATORHHH Howard Hughes was an innovator and a risk taker. So it’s ironic that Martin Scorsese’s screen portrait of him is the least audacious and adventurous movie he’s ever made. Leonardo DiCaprio does a captivating impression, but the script never quite brings its subject meaningfully to life. With Cate Blanchette, Alec Baldwin and, it goes without saying, Jude Law. (117 min, PG-13) THE INTERPRETERHHH Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn are paired in Sydney Pollack’s political thriller about a U.N. employee whose life is endangered when she accidentally overhears an after-hours conversation in the General Assembly Hall. (128 min, PG-13) THE MERCHANT OF VENICEHHH Al Pacino takes on the role of Shylock in Michael (Il Postino) Radford’s bigscreen version of the bard’s classic play. With Jeremy Irons and Joseph Fiennes. (138 min, R) THE PACIFIERHHH With his dramatic and action options dwindling by the minute, Vin Diesel resorts to comedy in director Adam Shankman’s laugher about a military-commando type whose latest mission calls for him to pull babysitting duty. With Faith Ford and Brad Garrett. (91 min, PG) THE RING TWOHH1/2 Videotapes of evil continue to be a source of concern
for Naomi Watts and David Dorfman in this sequel to the 2002 horror hit. With Simon Baker and Sissy Spacek. Directed by Hideo Nakata. (107 min, PG-13) THE UPSIDE OF ANGERHHH1/2 From writer-director Mike Binder comes this drama about a suburban wife left to raise four daughters when her husband unexpectedly disappears. Joan Allen and Kevin Costner star. THE WILD PARROTS OF TELEGRAPH HILLHHHH Judy Irving directs this documentary about the unusual bond between an unemployed San Francisco man and a flock of wild birds he more or less adopts. (83 min, G) TRAVELERS AND MAGICIANSHHH1/2 Khyentse (The Cup) Norbu directs this fable about a young man who leaves his Himalayan homeland for the U.S., where a Buddhist monk’s suspenseful tales make him reconsider his plan. (104 min, PG-13)

SHOE IN
Savion Glover seems to have done it all. The tip top tap dancer has shared a stage with tap greats Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis, Jr. He’s won a Tony Award for his choreography of Bring in ’Da Noise, Bring in ’Da Funk. And he’s syncopated rhythms in the White House for President Clinton. And he’s only 31. In Improvography, the onetime “Tap Dance Kid” fuses hip-hop and jazz. The first act features Glover soloing in front of a jazz quintet, simultaneously dancing up a storm and singing variations on songs Fred Astaire tapped to. The second half adds seven more dancers for a coed ensemble stomp. Don’t miss the chance to see someone conduct with his toes alone.
SAVION GLOVER Tuesday, May 3, Flynn MainStage, Burlington, 7:30 p.m. $28-48. Info, 863-5966.

SEVEN DAYS
<calendar > scene@’TRASH TO TREASURE TOURNEY’ RECYCLE NORTH, BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2 P.M. An atmosphere of frenzied concentration, overlaid with the smell of hot-glue guns, prevailed last Friday afternoon at Burlington’s ReCycle North. Like thrift shops everywhere, this place was founded on the idea that one person’s junk is another’s treasure, but with the added motivation of environmentalism. That waste-not ethos turned artistic at the store’s second annual “Trash to Treasure Tourney,� a friendly competition honoring Earth Day. The goal was to create an original objet out of the parts provided — in 45 minutes. From keyboard letters to raffia witch hats, toy animals to lots of glitter, these items defined miscellany. About a dozen people turned out — not including representatives of two newspapers and one TV station. ReCycle North Business Manager Kate Hanson was expecting a group of schoolchildren, but it was probably just as well they didn’t show. The cramped quarters barely accommodated these crafty competitors, all but one of them grownups. The lone child was 12-year-old Elizabeth Oberbrunner of Burlington, who with her mom LisaAnn created a very purple arrangement, cryptically titled “Hold,� which garnered the People’s Choice award. Judges Ginny Mullen and Maggie and Steve Conant selected the other two: Nick Carr and Colleen Stem won the “Most Likely to Succeed� award (the criterion: something that could be recreated from other items at the store). Their hanging mobile was made of bent wire, Easter-basket “grass� and aborted glassblowing experiments. Burlington artists Terry Zigmund and Christina Conant (only distantly related to the judges) won the “Coolest Creation� award for their vaguely antiwar construction, “Angels Always Look Out for Strangers.� It’s amazing what can be done with a doll’s head, Cuisinart attachment, gauzy scarf, pink bicycle wheel and toy soldiers. All winners received $50 gift certificates and some pretty outlandish “trophies.� ReCycle North’s Executive Director Tom Longstreth used the occasion to bestow upon Vermont’s Agency of Natural Resources the Karen Taylor Re-Use Award — it’s given “to an individual or organization that’s proven to be an asset to us and the environment,� according to Hanson. This one didn’t involve rummaging through the store’s clearance bins. PAMELA POLSTON

Bustier fashions notwithstanding, showing your knickers in public is still a bit risqué. The talented ladies (and gents) of the Spielpalast Cabaret aren’t just out to titillate, though. Their bare-almost-all stage show tilts toward political commentary, à la Weimar Germany. Now in its fourth year, Spielpalast showcases some of the brightest lights in Burlington’s music, dancing and alternative arts scenes. The group takes its can-can-do attitude on the road for the first time this spring — successive weekends bring them to Randolph, Vergennes and Brattleboro before the scantily glad posse peels the Big Apple at the New York Burlesque Festival. One last Burlington gig on May 27 lets fans say auf weidersehen — at least, until next year.

All fundraisers are not created equal. The annual auction that benefits Williston’s progressive Bellwether School is unusual in that 50 percent goes to the artists. That equation motivates makers to put highquality pieces up for the highest bidder. Woody Jackson, political cartoonist Robert Brunelle and Burlington painter Lydia Bright are just a few of the creative crew participating. Word is that local gallery owners are treating the auction as a real bellwether event for the northern Vermont arts scene. Going once, going twice . . . sold!

HIGH NOTE
If a contralto is a lady with a low voice, how does a countertenor sound? Exactly like British singing star Michael Chance — his voice reaches higher than barbershop tops dream of, well into the upper alto range, while retaining the quality of a male voice. Equally in demand for opera, concerts and recordings, Chance has built a career around his unusual range and powers of expression.

supply of frozen natural gas lies beneath the oceans. Researchers have just begun to develop the technology to mine it. When they succeed, civilization will gain access to more energy than is available from all the world’s oil reserves. This tantalizing prospect reminds me of your situation, Aries. You’re sitting on a reserve of metaphorical fuel that could power your efforts for quite some time. Now all you have to do is figure out a way to get at it. (Thanks to Stephen Leahy of Wired News for the info on the frozen natural gas.)
TAURUS
(Apr. 20-May 20): Even if you’re not an artist, you’re a creator. You’re constantly hatching new plans, coming up with fresh ideas, and shifting your approach to everything you do. It’s to this part of you — the restless, inventive spirit — that I address the following: It’s a perfect time for you to cultivate increased respect and reverence for your creativity. Tap in to the dormant potential of your amazing imagination. Feel confident about your ability to generate novelty. Realize how much power you have to change anything you want to change. Here’s your inspirational motto, courtesy of sculptor Constantin Brancusi: “Create like God, command like a king, work like a slave.”
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A lot of antifreeze tastes sweet even though it’s toxic. That’s a big problem for dogs and children, who sometimes come upon spilled or open containers of antifreeze and drink it. New Mexico is one of the first places in the world to pass a law making it mandatory for antifreeze to be bitter-tasting, thus discouraging innocents from imbibing it. This should serve as a metaphor for you in the coming week, Gemini. Your inner child or inner pet may be drawn to ingesting experiences that are delectable but noxious. Have your inner adult take steps to ensure this won’t happen.
ship to boost your cause, Cancerian. I won’t judge you harshly if you try to walk the fine line between creative storytelling and over-the-top BS. Just make sure that you’re always motivated more by fun and idealism than by self-aggrandizement. It’s time to use all your tricks and call on all the favors you’re owed as you sell your self without selling your soul.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ve been given a prophetic glimpse of the great victory that’s possible. You’re very close to neutralizing an old bugaboo and making sure that the past will no longer hold you back. Now comes the hardest part: Will you be able to sustain your concentration until the triumphs are actually accomplished? Or will you be lulled into lazy complacency by the sense of security that your partial breakthroughs have provided? Personally, I believe you will summon the dogged ingenuity necessary to finish the job; you will turn almost into completely.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re entering into the thick of the problemsolving phase of your astrological cycle, Sagittarius. Your dilemmas are probably heating up, becoming more frustrating and time-consuming. What’s more important to know, however, is that you now have a heightened power to fix those dilemmas. In fact, I predict that soon after reading this horoscope, you’ll find you have access to unprecedented levels of wild but disciplined determination. As you go about your work, keep in mind Buckminster Fuller’s standard for measuring his effectiveness: “When I am working on a problem,” he said, “I never think about beauty. I think only of how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.”

PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20): After rejecting proposals from many directors, Bob Dylan has finally authorized Oscar-nominated Todd Haynes to make a film about his life. Seven different actors will portray Dylan, including a black woman. “I am setting out to explode the idea that anybody can be depicted in a single self,” Haynes told the Sunday Times. You already explode that idea every week of your life, Pisces, and you will be exploding it with even greater force and style in the coming days. I encourage you to be proud of your own riotous multiplicity. It’s something to be celebrated, not to be shy about. Why not fantasize about the seven actors and actresses you’d choose to play you in the movie about your life?

AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I was looking for a house to rent. A real estate manager gave me a tour of various houses that were available. At one place the occupants weren’t home, but the manager had the key to the door and permission to enter. As she led me around, we came upon the master bedroom. A huge German shepherd was on the bed. I reflexively withdrew, afraid the dog would attack the strangers in its house. But it didn’t bark, pounce, or even growl. On the contrary, it shivered with fear. Its protective instincts seemed paralyzed. I think the dog’s behavior was an apt metaphor for the current state of your own inner guardian, Aquarius — you know, the fierce part of your psyche that defends your interests. It’s unnaturally timid and hesitant, and is thus not primed to do its job properly. Do whatever it takes to cure it of its malaise.
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): For a limited time only, everything will be pretty much the reverse of what it usually is. Do you have an unlucky number? In the coming week, that number will be a sign that good fortune is nearby. Do you have qualities that you regard as weak or undeveloped? You can now make them work to your advantage. What are the things you’re afraid of? Deal frankly with them and you will stimulate a big boost in your courage. Are you weary of worrying about your enemies? They are about to become great teachers, maybe even helpers.
going to write a fairy tale about the current state of your life, I would say that your stolen treasure is locked away in a heart-shaped metal box at the top of a glass mountain. You have every right to steal it back, but you haven’t been able to get to it. The surface of the mountain is too slippery for you to climb. In the next chapter of the fairy tale, you will encounter an elf or dwarf or witch who has a pair of special shoes with suction cups that could allow you to scale the peak. But you will have to give something in return for those shoes. And here’s the tricky part: The elf or dwarf or witch may not tell you exactly what he or she wants; you might have to guess.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Polls reveal
lence as an erotic partner. Nevertheless, I believe you have more to learn. There are frontiers you have not yet explored. And this is the perfect time for you to push to the next level. Open your mind and heart to the possibility that you’re ready to upgrade the way you stir up emotion-enriching, soul-expanding bliss.
SCORPIO
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If I were
that many Germans wish they could return to the days when the Berlin Wall was intact. They complain that dismantling the barriers between the eastern and western portions of the country has led to economic turmoil in both areas. I mention (June 21-July 22): I won’t if you resort to some outrageous showmanLibra,1because I think it resembles a feeling protest 2x3-090104-soulstice 1/31/05 6:46 PMthis,Page

you’re currently harboring. A part of you is longing for the bad old days when a now-defunct obstacle was a fixture in your life. You’re romanticizing the protection that the obstacle offered and forgetting how oppressive and limiting it was. It’s OK to entertain the fantasy of restoring the wall — in fact, I recommend that you do — but don’t you dare actually restore it.

Public Encouraged to Attend Hearings on A Health Resource Allocation Plan for Vermont (HRAP) Through a series of upcoming hearings in April and May, the State of Vermont will present for public comment a draft Health Resource Allocation Plan (abbreviated as the HRAP). Vermonters are encouraged to attend. The HRAP seeks to identify Vermont needs in health care services, programs and facilities, the resources available to meet those needs, and to set priorities among those needs on a statewide basis. The task is one of several mandates of Act 53, a health care planning reform law passed by the Vermont Legislature in 2003. There will be five hearings on the draft scheduled throughout Vermont. Draft documents To find the draft on the Department’s web site, go to the BISHCA home page:www.bishca.state.vt , and look under “New Postings”on the left side of screen.To request a paper copy, call Janeen Morrison or Deborah Smith at (802) 828-2900.

LOLA
the love counselor Dear Lola, When my partner “Muffy” and I were first together, she used to sing me these little songs in baby talk. I didn’t object. In the throes of early romance, I found it endearing. Besides, playing along was a sure-fire way to get into Muffy’s bed. Six years later, we’re civil-unioned, with full-time jobs, a mortgage and a real baby on the way. Those cutesy ditties have gotten old. How can I get Muffy to put a muzzle on it without hurting her feelings? Wuzzums in Winooski Dear Wuzzums, I hear you, sister. Siwwy wittle songs can be vewy annoying. But sewiously, I mean, seriously, you need to approach this with tact. Don’t raise the topic in response to her song. Choose a moment when you’re both relaxed and feeling secure about your relationship. First tell her how much you love her and value your union. Throw in some strokes about something she does that really rings your chimes. Then tell her, in a light-hearted way, how you feel about the songs. If she persists, remind her in a gentle, joking way. Be forewarned, though: When the real baby comes, Muffy’s vewy wikely to wegwess. Love, Lola
